Sorry for the reply. I did not get your message until now. I was
wondering if there was a way to develop floating-point mathematics
package within a module. I was wondering if some of your work on bit
twiddling floating - point numbers could be provided to me!!! Thanks.

One alternative to using struct is to use math.ldexp

In your original post, you said that you've got the values as

Hi All
Is there a simple way to twiddle the bits of a float? In particular, I
would like to round my float to the n most significant bits.
For example - 0.123 in binary is 0.00011
Rounding to 4 bits I get 0.0001.
I can pack and unpack a float into a long
e.g.
struct.unpack('I',struct.pack('f
