Actually, for Python 3.x, rather than using strtod directly it would be better to use the PyOS_string_to_double C-API function.  That function is entirely locale-agnostic:  it should behave identically to the float constructor.

Python 3.0 is no longer supported:  it would be good to know whether this problem persists with Python 3.1 or the py3k svn branch.
