python中如何判断输出浮点数,如何在Python中将浮点数列表输出到二进制文件

I have a list of floating-point values in Python:

floats = [3.14, 2.7, 0.0, -1.0, 1.1]

I would like to write these values out to a binary file using IEEE 32-bit encoding. What is the best way to do this in Python? My list actually contains about 200 MB of data, so something "not too slow" would be best.

Since there are 5 values, I just want a 20-byte file as output.

Alex is absolutely right, it's more efficient to do it this way:

from array import array

output_file = open('file', 'wb')

float_array = array('d', [3.14, 2.7, 0.0, -1.0, 1.1])

float_array.tofile(output_file)

output_file.close()

And then read the array like that:

input_file = open('file', 'r')

float_array = array('d')

float_array.fromstring(input_file.read())

array.array objects also have a .fromfile method which can be used for reading the file, if you know the count of items in advance (e.g. from the file size, or some other mechanism)
