I'm using selenium web driver to web scrape a price and what to do some maths with it. Only issue is that it still has the £ sign and python is treating it as a single 'thing'. I would like to remove the £ sign and then have the variable as a float. Thanks in advance.

Say for example the price its scraping is £32.48. It returns that price so the css selector is working, but when i find the length of that variable it returns 1 (rather then 6) and when I print price[0] I get the whole thing not just the £ sign.

```
emai = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#price00_scost')
price = emai.text
print(price)
length = len(price)
print(price[0])
print(length)

```
