Converting String To Int with strange format Python

I am working with some timezone offset stuff and need to do a small change for some math.

The input would look like ex1 "-0500" ex2 "-0400"

Result Should be in integer form

ex1 5 ex2 4

I am pretty new to python and am struggling a bit with this.

Thanks!
