function isinstance can help you to determine the type/class of an 
object:

py>hs =["popopopopop","254.25","pojdjdkjdhhjdccc","25452.25"]
py>
py>for i in hs:
py>    if isinstance(i, str):
py>        print str(i)
py>    elif isinstance(i, float):
py>        print float(i)
py>    elif isinstance(i, int):
py>        print int(i)
py>    else:
py>        print 'dunno type of this element: %s' % str(i)
