Re: [capi-sig] Getting Numbers in C

After all that!

I should have looked at the source earlier but BOTH PyFloat_AsDouble and PyNumber_Float support the PyNumber protocol, the ONLY difference is PyNumber_Float will convert a string "0.01".

It would be good if sombody on this list could update API docs, Iv mailed some small doc additions to the suggested address for doc updates but no reply.

http://www.python.org/doc/api/floatObjects.html

The following additions could be made to... double PyFloat_AsDouble( PyObject *pyfloat)

This function will also work with a PyInt or any type that implements the PyNumber protocol's (tp_as_number->nb_float) function.

double PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE( PyObject *pyfloat) This function will only work with PyFloat or a subtype of PyFloat.
