set_option in Python interface does not work with floats

[Christian Jacobs]

With the latest version of the trunk, the following code prints out 0.0 instead of 2.5. Setting it as a string "2.5" (or a list, [2.5]) works fine, but this isn't quite what I'm after.

import libspud

f = open("test.flml", "w")
f.write("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n")
f.write("<options>\n")
f.write("</options>\n")
f.close()

libspud.clear_options()
libspud.load_options("test.flml")

a = 2.5
libspud.set_option("/test", a)
print libspud.get_option("/test")

This appears to be an issue when PyErr_SetString is called in error_checking (libspud.c:39) as a result of a SPUD_NEW_KEY_WARNING. After calling this function, the value stored in secondArg (libspud:691) seems to get overwritten if it's a float or a double. I've commented out line libspud.c:39 as a work-around.
