And the question you didn't ask: are there any platforms where a C
double isn't IEEE-754?
The last ones I worked on that where the FP format wasn't IEEE were
the DEC VAX and TI's line if 32-bit floating-point DSPs. I don't
think Python runs on the latter, but it might on the former.
Support for Python on VMS has been dropped for v3.3 see
