GetCellValue error: invalid literal for float()

Anonymous User

I'm trying to Get Raster Cell Value iterating a row selection over a point feature class and passing the coordinates as a string like this "1590388,53 4881616,56". But i receive this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\ivn\Desktop\sir\getcellval.py", line 7, in <module>

    Val = float(CellVal.getOutput(0))

ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 3,5872333

This is the script:

import arcpy

rs = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #Input Raster

X_Y = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) #Coordinates of point

CellVal = arcpy.GetCellValue_management(rs, X_Y, "1")

Val = float(CellVal.getOutput(0))

It is possible to internationalize if more than a quick substitution is needed for the decimal delimiter.  The web is aghast with examples .... most use the old replace approach unless you have to do this all the time
