[issue9041] raised exception is misleading

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk> added the comment:

While the patch might improve over the current situation, doesn't it potentially mask other errors which might be raised by PyFloat_AsDouble()?
Why not just

x = PyFloat_AsDouble(value);
if (PyErr_Occurred())
    return NULL;

which would not mask any exception?
