How to remove a comma out a thousand value

I'm creating this webapp for my cousin. He own a trunking business so he want his website to give quote base on miles. So I got almost everything on the backend working. Now I'm encounter an issue. Since to give the quote and I need to use calculation, I having issues with distance over 1,000 miles because python can calculate that. How can I remove the comma from a 1,00 value.

Once you've isolated the number:

Code:

>>> s = '1,000'
>>> float(''.join(s.split(',')))
1000.0
>>>
