Beginner at python, need help

I have a program that reads a CSV file. It currently looks like this. The CSV file is NFL Football stats. The names of the rows of the CSV are Name, Games, Receptions, Receiving Yards, etc.



import csv

players = {}

with open('NFL 2011 reassembled.csv', 'rU') as csvfile:
spamreader = csv.DictReader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='|')
for row in spamreader:
players[row['Name'].strip()] = row



The numbers are strings now, so I cannot change them. How can I change them into integers?
Thanks. I am a beginner to Python, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>> print(7*int('4'))
28

That won't work because I want to be able to put any row of the CSV file in there. Is there something I could do that would look something like:

int(players['Games')
#players is the name of the csv file
Or something that would turn it into an integer?
thanks

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


Try this. If still not working, please get back.

If you provide a few lines of the input and also show what you want for output, and perhaps a formula (in some sort of reasonable descriptive language) that computes the output from the input, you might thereby get some useful assistance.
