.. cfunction:: void PyFloat_AsString(char *buf, PyFloatObject *v)
Convert the argument *v* to a string, using the same rules as
:func:`str`. The length of *buf* should be at least 100.
This function is unsafe to call because it writes to a buffer whose
length it does not know.
.. deprecated:: 2.7
Use :func:`PyObject_Str` or :func:`PyOS_double_to_string` instead.
.. cfunction:: void PyFloat_AsReprString(char *buf, PyFloatObject *v)
Same as PyFloat_AsString, except uses the same rules as
:func:`repr`. The length of *buf* should be at least 100.
This function is unsafe to call because it writes to a buffer whose
length it does not know.
.. deprecated:: 2.7
Use :func:`PyObject_Repr` or :func:`PyOS_double_to_string` instead.
