Py String To Int

Your step count, your seed, your row index - they all arrive as text somewhere. Py String To Int turns "42" into the integer 42, which is the difference between a string socket and a numeric socket in a graph.

It's the sibling of Py String To Float, and the one strictness difference matters: float("3.0") works, but int("3.0") raises. This node is integer parsing, full stop.

How it works

It's Python's int(value) on the string. "42" → 42, "-7" → -7, and leading/trailing whitespace is tolerated. It does not round: "3.9" raises rather than becoming 3. It does not accept scientific notation: "1e3" raises. It's a strict integer-literal parser, which is honestly a feature - silent rounding is how bugs are born, and this node refuses to be subtle.

Inputs and outputs

• value - the string to parse, single-line.

Output: an INT, ready for any integer socket - batch sizes, seeds, counts, loop controls.

Common issues

The failure mode is a loud ValueError whenever the string isn't a clean integer literal. "3.0" fails, "3.5" fails, " 42 " succeeds. If you have strings like "3.0" that you know represent whole numbers, run them through Py String To Float first and then round - don't expect this node to do it for you. And again, single-line input only; stray newlines will break the parse. If you find yourself converting strings to ints a lot, check whether the data source (like a CSV) can hand you typed values upstream instead.
