+/**
+ * PyOS_ascii_strtod:
+ * @nptr:    the string to convert to a numeric value.
+ * @endptr:  if non-%NULL, it returns the character after
+ *           the last character used in the conversion.
+ * 
+ * Converts a string to a #gdouble value.
+ * This function behaves like the standard strtod() function
+ * does in the C locale. It does this without actually
+ * changing the current locale, since that would not be
+ * thread-safe.
+ *
+ * This function is typically used when reading configuration
+ * files or other non-user input that should be locale independent.
+ * To handle input from the user you should normally use the
+ * locale-sensitive system strtod() function.
+ *
+ * If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus %HUGE_VAL
+ * is returned (according to the sign of the value), and %ERANGE is
+ * stored in %errno. If the correct value would cause underflow,
+ * zero is returned and %ERANGE is stored in %errno.
+ * 
+ * This function resets %errno before calling strtod() so that
+ * you can reliably detect overflow and underflow.
+ *
+ * Return value: the #gdouble value.
