Comment 2 for bug 770334

I was looking through the libastro source and I find occurences of PyOS_ascii_strtod in only two files.
format.c and misc.c

I replaced it with PyOS_string_to_double adding NULL as the third parameter then ran
python3 setup.py install
Now when I run in the python3 shell import ephem there is no immediate error but my scripts fail
with an value error . So no progress made on my part but still hoping that ephem will soon run in python3.
