When using TextInput in Kivy, everything that is entered is kept as a string, even when the input is restricted to characters that represent floats or ints using input_filter. How can TextInput.text be converted into an actual float or int type so that I can do calculations with it?
Why couldn't you just grab the TextInput.text and convert it using float or int? ie text = TextInput.text for an int.. conversion = int(text)
