将包含科学计数数字的字符串转换为int或float

Question

我正在处理的数据框的一列包含具有以下值的字符串：

df['Records Lost'][0] 
'1,37e+09'

这是一个字符串：

type(df['Records Lost'][0])
str

我尝试将其转换为浮点型，但出现此错误：

float(df['Records Lost'][0])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-36-88765fb941e9> in <module>()
----> 1 float(df['Records Lost'][0])

ValueError: could not convert string to float: '1,37e+09'

根据@Jezreal尝试pd.to_numeric

pd.to_numeric(df['Records Lost'][0])
ValueError: Unable to parse string "1,37e+09" at position 0

pd.to_numeric([x.replace(',','.') for x in df['Records Lost'][0]])
ValueError: Unable to parse string "." at position 1

如何将此字符串转换为float / int？
