Converting to EUR

[midnightkali]

from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates

amount = 5
c = CurrencyRates()

eur = c.get_rate("EUR", "PHP")
amount_eur = eur * amount

print(type(amount_eur))
print(amount_eur)

output -
<class 'str'>
59.34259.34259.34259.34259.342

it returns a string not a float

It seems like this issue is within the the Forex API. When requesting from them with EUR as the base, they return a string for those rates, but a float with any other base. Most likely this issue should be addressed there instead of in this codebase, but it could be fixed here as well. For reference, here is the API.

This should be resolved now via this issue and commit.
