How to remove thousands separator dot from the formatted numbers

Question

How can I remove the dot separator from formatted numbers? I'm getting a list from a website by using regular expression:

a = [10.000, 20.000, 25.000]

How can I change them to a = [10000, 20000, 25000]? (They're integers now).

Answer 1

I am assuming what you have are strings, since you got them from a website, they should be text at first

>>> a=["10.000","20.000","25.000"]
>>> [ i.replace(".","") for i in a ]
['10000', '20000', '25000']

Answer 2

Use replace as this:

mystring.replace('.', '')
