decimal point problem with compute / python

[drfg2008]

when I use python to read in coefficients from output tables I get numbers with decimal comma instead of decimal point.

So when I use "compute2 ... the syntax needs decimal points instead of comma. How can I change the value into decimal point

for example 1,123 to 1.123.

Thanks

Locale?
Why don't you post what you are attempting?
How did the "," dec separators get here in the first place?
Are you still trying to deal with the R regression coefficients from last week?
Maybe MATRIX rather than python.  
Frankly, Sometimes Python is your hammer and everything is a freaking nail!

Thanks Jon,

I used a python script from SPSS to read outputs.

To chage cellAttrib="text" into cellAttrib="number" works perfectly. I just forgot to change the list attribute: no "[0]", of course.
