Comment(by charris):

 Sounds right, then. PyOS_string_to_double is just a wrapper around the
 same base function that was used before and that function itself depends
 on the c library so I'm not sure why the python team felt the need to set
 python errors. The PyCapsule functions are similar in that respect. I can
 see wanting some consistency, but using the c-api becomes more difficult.

 I expect there is code out there for this, but as you say, it isn't a high
 priority to fix it.
