I got an unexpected error today using string.atof. ValueError: invalid literal for float(): -17,019.797
To me -17,019.797 looks like a perfectly good floating point number. I cannot find documentation on what the allowed range is. -- Mike Procario "Another casualty of applied metaphysics" -Calvin and Hobbes _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
