The INT_TO_WORD type conversion function converts an input value of the INT data type into a WORD output value. The WORD_TO_INT type conversion function converts an input value of the WORD data type into an INT output value.
You convert a string to a number by calling the Parse or TryParse method found on numeric types ( int , long , double , and so on), or by using methods in the System. Convert class. It's slightly more efficient and straightforward to call a TryParse method (for example, int.
Create an empty list with ints = [] . Iterate over each string element using a for loop such as for element in list . Convert the string to an integer using int(element) and append it to the new integer list using the list. append() method.
The majority of this code is to set up the numwords dict, which is only done on the first call.

I have just released a python module to PyPI called word2number for the exact purpose. https://github.com/akshaynagpal/w2n
Install it using:
pip install word2number
make sure your pip is updated to the latest version.
Usage:
from word2number import w2n
print w2n.word_to_num("two million three thousand nine hundred and eighty four")

If anyone is interested, I hacked up a version that maintains the rest of the string (though it may have bugs, haven't tested it too much).

Example:
>>> text2int("I want fifty five hot dogs for two hundred dollars.")
I want 55 hot dogs for 200 dollars.
There could be issues if you have, say, "$200". But, this was really rough.
I needed something a bit different since my input is from a speech-to-text conversion and the solution is not always to sum the numbers. For example, "my zipcode is one two three four five" should not convert to "my zipcode is 15".
I took Andrew's answer and tweaked it to handle a few other cases people highlighted as errors, and also added support for examples like the zipcode one I mentioned above. Some basic test cases are shown below, but I'm sure there is still room for improvement.

Some tests...
one two three -> 123
three forty five -> 345
three and forty five -> 3 and 45
three hundred and forty five -> 345
three hundred -> 300
twenty five hundred -> 2500
three thousand and six -> 3006
three thousand six -> 3006
nineteenth -> 19
twentieth -> 20
first -> 1
my zip is one two three four five -> my zip is 12345
nineteen ninety six -> 1996
fifty-seventh -> 57
one million -> 1000000
first hundred -> 100
I will buy the first thousand -> I will buy the 1000 # probably should leave ordinal in the string
thousand -> 1000
hundred and six -> 106
1 million -> 1000000
