How to Read a Binary Float With Python

Sunday, March/31/2024

1). Open your Python editor.
2). Import the "struct module" by typing:

import struct
3). Convert the binary float to a Python string by using the "struct.pack" function. For example, type:

struct.pack ('f', 011110101)
4). Press Enter. Python returns:

'\x04A\x12J'

In this example, the first argument, 'f' in the struct.pack function tells Python to convert the binary float, 011110101, to a binary string that can be read and further manipulated in Python. Python converts the binary float to a hexadecimal string:

'\x04A\x12J'
