[Python-ideas] Fwd: Python Convert

[Daniel Rode]

Wow, that's a lot to take in.

I don't think things through very well sometimes.

I am not trying to "bring back" Python2, I am trying to see if we can fix
the problem that was always there that got worse in Python3.
I guess the bottom line for me is what you said:

What does that do if I use it?

It could be used to convert a string to an integer (if applicable).

So have you thought of a solution for this problem?
