Python AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'atoi'

Question

I tried to run following program of using python 3.2 , there is error: 'module' object has no attribute 'atoi' Can anybody tell me what should I do to fix this? i really appreciate it !

import string
def converttoint(str):
    try:
        value = string.atoi(str)
        return value
    except ValueError:
        return None

Answer 1

string.atoi has been deprecated for a very long time. Since Python 2.0, in fact, and it doesn't exist in Python 3.

Simply use

value = int(s)

instead, and don't call your variable str. That's a bad habit, as it shadows the builtin string type str.
