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.

Is everyone agreed on a tohex/fromhex pair using the C99 notation as recommended in 754R? Sounds good to me. I've attached a Python version of a possible implementation to the issue. See: http://bugs.python.org/file10780/hexfloat.py It might be useful for testing. Mark
