New submission from Adam Bartoš:

>>> float('foo')
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'foo'
>>> float('')
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 

should be
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ''

The message comes from Objects/floatobject.c:183 but I don't understand how the 
empty string gets discarded.
