  74  * independent way to store floating-point values as byte strings.
  75  * The Pack routines produce a string from a C double, and the Unpack
  76  * routines produce a C double from such a string.  The suffix (4 or 8)
  77  * specifies the number of bytes in the string.
  78  *
  79  * On platforms that appear to use (see _PyFloat_Init()) IEEE-754 formats
  80  * these functions work by copying bits.  On other platforms, the formats the
  81  * 4- byte format is identical to the IEEE-754 single precision format, and
  82  * the 8-byte format to the IEEE-754 double precision format, although the
  83  * packing of INFs and NaNs (if such things exist on the platform) isn't
  84  * handled correctly, and attempting to unpack a string containing an IEEE
  85  * INF or NaN will raise an exception.
  86  *
  87  * On non-IEEE platforms with more precision, or larger dynamic range, than
  88  * 754 supports, not all values can be packed; on non-IEEE platforms with less
  89  * precision, or smaller dynamic range, not all values can be unpacked.  What
  90  * happens in such cases is partly accidental (alas).

  96  * first, at p).
  97  * Return value:  0 if all is OK, -1 if error (and an exception is
  98  * set, most likely OverflowError).
