Python equivalent to the "A" or "a" output conversions in C

[Aldrich DeMata]

Use the binascii module:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.float32(3.14)
>>> x.dtype
dtype('float32')
>>> binascii.hexlify(x)
'c3f54840'

The final result is little endian so it should be read as 0x4048f5c3
instead.

You can verify the conversion using the link below:
