converting str to int and vice versa

Question

I have a need to convert a string to an int and back after doing some processing. And the string has to be in words like below:

45 - forty five
99 - ninety nine

I searched everywhere for a hint but couldn't find any. I know the obvious switch-case logic but I am curious if theres a more intelligent way doing it with less lines of code.

well logically yes. This is a tracker which tracks the number of vehicles in front of the user's car. So the number naturally can't be in the millions! :) — HasIq., Aug 12 '11 at 14:19

use num2words, see(https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-number-to-words-using-num2words/)

  from num2words import num2words
  def num2word(num):
     """
      convert numbers in a string to their word representation
     """  
     try:
         return num2words(num, lang='en_IN')
     except:
         return num
