Out of curiosity, where are your data coming from?

For Python, this seems like a needless complication.  It should be simple 
enough to replace the 'D's with 'E's prior to passing the strings to float.

I notice that some varieties of Lisp and Scheme use 's', 'f', 'd', 'l' as the 
exponent marker for floats of different precisions (short, single, double, long 
double).  But Python only has one precision of float.
