ValueError raised #41

The attached file should reproduce the error. Im using Python 2.7.6 on windows 
7 64 bit and pypyodbc 1.3.1.

To see the error:
1. Adjust paths in python file
2. Run the python file

For me this produces the following error:

"C:\Users\reknowles\Desktop\pypyodbc access bug.py in <module>()
     11 c = conn.cursor()
     12 
---> 13 a = c.execute('select Field1 from table1').fetchone()

   1868                                 else:

   1870                             else:
   1871                                 # There are previous fetched raw data to combine

ValueError: could not convert string to float: E-2"

The value it's trying to read from the access database is -2.90667617099896E-02 
so I suspect somewhere along the line something is struggling with the 'E-2' 
bit.

Possibly related to the following issue?:

Same issue here (on a different db) with python 3.4 x64 and Win7 x64
The db i'm trying to read is a 2003 access file (.mdb)
I tried to make a .accdb file and link the .mdb data to it, it seemed to solve 
the issue but it came back to day for no obvious reason
The value that fails is 4E-2 and I get the same "ValueError: could not convert 
string to float: E-2"

Same issue here. For me it works on Windows 7 x64 but not on Windows Server 
2008. The number that seems to be causing the problem for me is 
4.03132392887798E170. I'm guessing it does not like the E170 part.

Have you found a solution for this? I am now hitting the same issue with my 
pypyodbc code.
