Since I'm not sure how many columns the file will have, I tried:

    conv = {}
    for i in range(1000):
        conv[i] = lambda a: a.replace(",", ".")

    data = np.loadtxt(f,  skiprows = 2, converters = conv)

but:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/lib/npyio.py", line 817, in 
loadtxt
    converters[i] = conv
IndexError: list assignment index out of range
