Convert it to a Python float using PyNumber_Float(), then use PyFloat_AsDouble() to get the C double value from it. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
