Remove dot at the end of number

Question

I have a txt file that looks like this:

  1,           0.,           0.,           0.
  2,           0.,           0.,         600.
  3,           0.,           0.,        2600.
  4,           0.,           0.,          50.

I'd like to read it and create the following list:

['1', '0', '0', '0']
['2', '0', '0', '600']
['3', '0', '0', '2600']
['4', '0', '0', '50']

However I only manage to obtain:

['1', '0.', '0.', '0.']
['2', '0.', '0.', '600.']
['3', '0.', '0.', '2600.']
['4', '0.', '0.', '50.']

My code looks like:

for line in inputFile:
    fileData.append([x.strip() for x in line.split(',')])

EDIT: How can I convert my list of strings into a list of integers? tried some variations using the line of code I wrote above but couldn't make it.

Answer 1

Pass "." + string.whitespace to strip so that it strips both the spaces and the periods:

from string import whitespace
for line in inputFile:
    fileData.append([int(x.strip("." + whitespace)) for x in line.split(',')])

Answer 2

for line in inputFile:
    fileData.append([int(x.strip().rstrip('.')) for x in line.split(',')])

Instead of x.strip().rstrip('.'), you could use x.strip(' \t\r\n.'), but I think it is cleaner to let x.strip() handle all of the whitespace.
