How to convert string to float in Python 1.2

[Bill Walker]

I'm using Python 1.2 on a ZEOS notebook which runs MS DOS 5.0. Python 1.5 or
higher will NOT install in DOS mode.

I have a string that I need to convert to a float.

f = float('1.234')

for example.  This works in Python 1.5 but does not work in Python 1.2. Nor
is there a built-in function or a string module that will work (that I have
found). Any tricks to doing this conversion in version 1.2, short of writing
my on string to float module?
