Interesting. What happens if you try float("2,2")? If that works then I guess PythonCE must be using your user default locale instead of the "C" locale. It looks like this locale-based float conversion feature was added in Python 2.4 but I am guessing that on the PC the default locale is "C" unless you explicitly change it? The output of this should confirm it:
import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL) locale.localeconv() I'm not very familiar with locale programming so I'm not sure how to fix it yet.
