a gift function and a question

[Mohsen Pahlevanzadeh]

Dear all,

I have a gift for mailing list:

////////////////////////////////
def integerToPersian(number):
    listedPersian = ['۰','۱','۲','۳','۴','۵','۶','۷','۸','۹']
    listedEnglish = ['0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9']    
    returnList = list()
    
    listedTmpString = list(str(number))
    
    for i in listedTmpString:
        returnList.append(listedPersian[listedEnglish.index(i)])

    return ''.join(returnList)
////////////////////////////////////
When you call it such as : "integerToPersian(3455)" ,  it return ۳۴۵۵,
۳۴۵۵ is equivalent to 3455 in Persian and Arabic language.When you read
a number such as reading from databae, and want to show in widget, this
function is very useful.

My question is , do you have reverse of this function? persianToInteger?

Yours,
Mohsen
