What's the best way to emulate single-precision floating point in python? (Or other floating point formats for that matter?) Just use ctypes?

The float type in Python represents the floating point number. Float is used to represent real numbers and is written with a decimal point dividing the integer and fractional parts. For example, 97.98, 32.3+e18, -32.54e100 all are floating point numbers.
The format of IEEE single-precision floating-point standard representation requires 23 fraction bits F, 8 exponent bits E, and 1 sign bit S, with a total of 32 bits for each word. F is the mantissa in 2's complement positive binary fraction represented from bit 0 to bit 22.
numpy has a float32 type.
