+Numbers can be converted from string to `int` or `float` if you use `%{pattern:name:type}` syntax, such as `%{NUMBER:age:int}`
+```Python
+>>> pattern = '%{WORD:name} is %{WORD:gender}, %{NUMBER:age:int} years old and weighs %{NUMBER:weight:float} kilograms'
+>>> print pygrok.grok_match(text, pattern)
+{'gender': 'male', 'age': 25, 'name': 'gary', 'weight': 68.5}
+```
+Now `age` is of type `int` and `weight` is of type `float`.
+
+Awesome !

 `WORD` means \b\w+\b in regular expression.
