[PythonCE] Python 2.4.3 for Windows CE / ARM

[Jan Ischebeck]

Dear Luke,

both float("2,2") and float("2.2") don't work. They raise an 
"ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 2.2".
Current locale is "Deutsch" (german word for "german"). After setting 
the locale to LC_ALL it is still
"Deutsch".

According to localeconv| 'decimal_point' is "," but this should not have 
any influence on float(),
as there is a specific locale depend function for this conversion.

When I call locale.atof("2,2") I get the following error:
Traceback(most recent call last):
File "binaries\lib\locale.py", line 173, in atof
ValueError: invalid literal for float():2.2

Although the locale stuff seems to be somehow mixed up, could it be that 
float("") is
calling a locale depend wince function in python 2.4 ?
