/**
 * 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.
 * If memory allocation fails, %ENOMEM 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.
