a = int(float(a)) if int(float(a)) == float(a) else float(a)

这个问题似乎有点过时了。但让我建议一个函数parseStr，它有类似的功能，即返回整数或浮点数，如果给定的ASCII字符串不能转换为任何一个，它将不受影响地返回。当然，代码可能会被调整为只执行您想要的操作：

   >>> import string
   >>> parseStr = lambda x: x.isalpha() and x or x.isdigit() and \
   ...                      int(x) or x.isalnum() and x or \
   ...                      len(set(string.punctuation).intersection(x)) == 1 and \
   ...                      x.count('.') == 1 and float(x) or x
   >>> parseStr('123')
   123
   >>> parseStr('123.3')
   123.3
   >>> parseStr('3HC1')
   '3HC1'
   >>> parseStr('12.e5')
   1200000.0
   >>> parseStr('12$5')
   '12$5'
   >>> parseStr('12.2.2')
   '12.2.2'

>>> a = "545.2222"
>>> float(a)
545.22220000000004
>>> int(float(a))
545

处理十六进制、八进制、二进制、十进制和浮点

这个解决方案将处理数字的所有字符串约定（我所知道的）。

def to_number(n):
    ''' Convert any number representation to a number
    This covers: float, decimal, hex, and octal numbers.
    '''

    try:
        return int(str(n), 0)
    except:
        try:
            # Python 3 doesn't accept "010" as a valid octal.  You must use the
            # '0o' prefix
            return int('0o' + n, 0)
        except:
            return float(n)

这个测试用例输出说明了我所说的内容。

>>> float(str_float)
545.2222
>>> type(_) # Check its type
<type 'float'>

>>> str_int = "31"
