error with read_number() function

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. on OSX using w3af itwill throw an error about:
File 
"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-
packages/xdot.py", line 494, in read_number
    return int(self.read_code())

Upon opening the file i located the function read_number(). It is typcasting to 
an int from a string, therefore failing.

to fix this I modified the function from:

    def read_number(self):
            return int(self.read_code())

to:

    def read_number(self):
            return int(float(self.read_code()))

It now evaluates the string, to a float first, then to an int()

have also seen this causing errors with other packages besides w3af while 
researching a fix

apologies I have never coded in Python before however the fix produces expected 
results as far as I can see.

modified xdot.py attached
