@loewis: Yes, the initial problem is about unpack("f", bytes). It's 
not possible to exact original 32 bits float value because Python 
forces a conversion to 64 bits float. The behaviour should be 
documented. Don't hesitate to reopen the bug if you consider that 
something should be fixed in Python.
