The following functions have been deprecated as of Python 2.5. Each has been replaced by its counterpart among the built-in string methods. If you use them in code, you should not be surprised to get a deprecation warning. These functions will not be removed from Python until version 3.0. You therefore have until that release to update your codebase.
In the following references, s indicates the string to be modified. For the other arguments, see the corresponding built-in string method.
- atof(s): Deprecated since Python 2.0. Use the float() built-in function.
- atoi(s[, base]): Deprecated since Python 2.0. Use the int() built-in function.
- atol(s[, base]): Deprecated since Python 2.0. Use the long() built-in function.
