ummm -- do a type cast -- examples are all through the python
codebase:
grep loat `locate py | grep py$ `
eg:
/home/herrold/dl/Bar/factory.py: 'defCommission': float,
usr/share/doc/PyQt-examples-3.1/gears.py: w = width / float(height)
/usr/share/doc/PyQt-examples-3.1/tut14.py: rad = \
math.atan(float(self.rect().bottom() - pnt.y()) / pnt.x())
