[PyQt] QVariant.toFloat()

The method definition for "toDouble" in C++ is:

QVariant.toDouble(bool *ok=0)

The "ok" value will be true if the conversion to a double was successful.
 Because passing a pointer into a function this way is not "Pythonic," Phil
had it return the value and success in a tuple (at least I think that was
the motivation).

So this means you need to index the first value of the tuple, e.g. value =
QVariant.toDouble()[0]

As Andreas noted in the next post, the decimal places shouldn't matter
because it's a double precision floating point value.  If you want it to be
placed in your data base as a string with two decimal places, then export it
to the database with a formatted string.  But I'm not sure this is what
you're asking.
