strtod() respects the process' locale settings. Importing gtk probably
pulls in the locale settings from the environment and sets them as the
process-wide locale (see setlocale(3)).

GLib has a function g_ascii_strtod(), and Python has PyOS_ascii_strtod
(which is actually the same function). csound ought to be using something
equivalent to this to parse locale-independent decimals, rather than
using the C library's strtod().

See http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0331/ for more details.
