python: reading in a table and converting each column to the right data type
<p>Suppose I have a text file like with rows like below:</p>

<pre><code>3, 4.32, hi
7, 3.23, hello
</code></pre>

<p>When I read in this file, all entries are treated as strings.  Is there a way for them to be automatically converted (in my example) to int, float, and string?</p>
