title: Converting String to an Integer/float when reading from a csv file in Python
body: <p>I have a file which includes numbers like ["75,000", "500,000", "255,000"].
  I am not able to append these to a List as a integer or a float, I can only append it as a String. To me, it looks like it is due to the comma in the string value. I can print it as a String but not do arithmetic operations on them as they are string. Below is my try to append int to list. Please help with this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Money = []
  
  with open('Money.csv') as csvfile:
      readCSV = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',')
      for row in readCSV:
          Money.append(int(row[4]))
  </code></pre>
