Comment 2 for bug 296641

In code

     # use tokenize_line to parse the arguments so that
     # we deal with signed numbers following another
     # number without intervening whitespace other
     # characters properls.
     # FIXME: tokenize_line works but is not the best way
     # to do it because it accepts input that wouldn't be
     # valid here.
     points = filter(operator.isNumberType,
         skread.tokenize_line(points))

The number 1.2639812e+08 filtered as 1.2159500000000001
