[New-bugs-announce] [issue7919] reading scientific notation using d instead of e on max osx

[ricitron]

New submission from ricitron <ricitron at mac.com>:

I would like to be able to read in data that uses scientific notation with a D instead of an E. This is possible on windows and other builds, but not on Mac OSX. 

example:
float('1.23D+04')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 1.23D+04
