Guido van Rossum	2be161dcfa	Make tset_float pass. float(<unicode>) was never very good -- it used ... a fixed-length buffer of 256 bytes.	2007-05-15 20:43:51 +00:00

Michael W. Hudson	ba283e2b7f	This is my patch: ... [ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in anyway if noone reviews it. Please read the diff on the checkin list, at least! The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so _PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around. The rest is hair for testing, and tests.	2005-05-27 15:23:20 +00:00
