[Baypiggies] scientific notation: string to int

[Bryce Verdier]

Hey Keith,

The best I can do for string is the line from my original posting(client 
data, NDA, I'm sure you understand):

b1021384-6633-4756-b3e1-c36d34c1dfd2, clientname_001,Thu Dec  2 00:00:00
UTC 2010,2.96116E+11,0,0, Thu Dec  2 00:00:00 UTC 2010,577078067
20,15228831373,80966857300,


I will say that in the file there are 135 lines in the files. So it's 
not like there is a lot data to deal with. I wonder if I should move 
back to 2.7.

the code is still being worked on, so don't laugh to hard (constructive 
critisims are welcomed though) ;)
