Converting a string to the most probable type

I have also been looking for a similar Python conversion library. One of
my requirements is that such a library must be locale aware (so it can
make reasonable assumptions regarding locale properties like thousands
separators, decimal points, etc) - either via a locale attribute or by
examining the locale of the thread its running under.
