[Baypiggies] scientific notation: string to int

[Bryce Verdier]

I knew it was to easy to be true. Help?!?!

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./space_report.py", line 58, in <module>
     file1_class_clients.append(client(x,v))
   File "./space_report.py", line 10, in __init__
     self.size = float(size)
ValueError: could not convert string to float: Commercial Max Space Used


This is in python 3.1.2 if that matters.
