`PyFloatObject'
     This subtype of `PyObject' represents a Python floating point
     object.

`PyTypeObject PyFloat_Type'

     point type.  This is the same object as `types.FloatType'.

`int PyFloat_Check(PyObject *p)'
     Returns true if its argument is a `PyFloatObject'.

`PyObject* PyFloat_FromDouble(double v)'
     Creates a `PyFloatObject' object from V, or `NULL' on failure.

`double PyFloat_AsDouble(PyObject *pyfloat)'
     Returns a C `double' representation of the contents of PYFLOAT.

`double PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE(PyObject *pyfloat)'
     Returns a C `double' representation of the contents of PYFLOAT,
     but without error checking.
