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.
The problem is not the range. It's the comma that's right in the middle of the number. Yuck.
