To help us help you:

   - How you are entering and executing your program,

- Provide some of your program (all of it if not too long) as part of

- Include the entire traceback.

Example:

Running Python 3.3.1
Typing in the PyScripter interactive interpreter.

 >>> x = [123]
 >>> print(float(x))
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 301, in runcode
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number

Examine the argument to float. Ensure it is a string or a number.
