Thank you: a very useful thread. From what little information I'm turning
up on Google, it looks as though most of these devices---if they support
floating-point at all---provide some reasonably close approximation to IEEE
754 floats (possibly emulated in software).
A request for information:
What non IEEE 754 platforms exist that people care about running Python 2.6,
Python 3.0 and higher on?
By non IEEE 754 platform, I mean a platform where either the C double is not
the usual 64-bit IEEE floating-point format, or where the C double is IEEE
format but the

The IBM format is particularly troublesome because
it's base 16 instead of base 2 (so e.g. multiplying a float by 2 can lose
bits), but it appears that recent IBM machines do both IBM format and IEEE
format floating-point. I
