FWIW, I'm fine with making these methods on float -- a class method float.fromhex(...) echoes e.g. dict.fromkeys(...) and datetime.fromordinal(...). The to-hex conversion could be x.hex() -- we don't tend to use ".toxyz()" as a naming convention much in Python. Would it be totally outrageous for the float constructor to accept hex strings directly?
int('0x10') raises a ValueError as well. You might propose float('0x...p...', 16) but since the format is so specifically different I think that's not completely kosher.
