In C you can certainly get access to the binary representation of a float as bytes. My C is really rusty but something like float x = 1.3; char* p = &x; will give you a pointer to the binary representation of x. You can do something similar with the struct module in Python; struct.pack() will give you a byte string containing the representation of a float.
