[Numpy-discussion] float conversion

[Alex Ter-Sarkissov]

hi every1,

I got the following issue: I wrote a function that converts binary strings
into a decimal value (binary expansion). When I write

type(x)

to find out the type of the value I get NoneType. Therefore I can't convert
it into anything else, such as float numbers, since command float(x) returns


TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number

Any ideas what to do with this (e.g. convert to floating numbers)?

cheers,

Alex
