I see there is already something similar for true division.
I find
+ q_max, shift_max = 1 << sig_bits, sys.float_info.max_exp - sig_bits
easier to read as two lines
+ q_max = 1 << sig_bits
+ shift_max = sys.float_info.max_exp - sig_bits
Not having precedence memorized, I prefer added parens here:
+ ... (n >> shift) | bool(n & (1 << shift) - 1)
I presume that for normal production testing, you would comment out
+ float = long_to_float
