funny behaviour gtk+python

[Victor Lazzarini]

yes, it's true, but at the moment, I can't
see a substitute for strtod(), and we can't
put a dependency on gtk or Python in the Csound
engine. I can't find an ascii_strtod(). Would
it work if we added a call to setlocale() just
before the call to strtod()?
