Well, here's some Python code to output C99-style hexadecimal 
representations of floats.  It's not quite the same as Java's output, 
which also special cases IEEE 754 subnormals (writing them with a fixed 
exponent of -1022 and a '0' before the point).  But then Python doesn't 
have the luxury of knowing that its floats are IEEE 754 format.

The big downside is that the output format has a decimal point in it, so 
won't be eval-able.
