Convert str with single and double quotations into int

Question

What is the best solution to convert a '"1"' or "'1'" (string) into 1 (int) using python?

int() method will return this value error message

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: "'1'"

if you try int('"1"') or int("'1'")

The solution that I used is as follow:

tmp = '"1"'
tmp = tmp.replace('"', "")
tmp

# output: 1

The flaw in this "solution" is that the inner quotation (single/double) matters.

Answer 1

I would use

tmp = tmp.strip("'\"")

This removes both ' and " from the start/end of tmp .
