title: Reading 32 bit signed ieee 754 floating points from a binary file with python?
body: <p>I have a binary file which is simple a list of signed 32 bit ieee754 floating point numbers. They are not separated by anything, and simply appear one after another until EOF. </p>
  
  <p>How would I read from this file and interpret them correctly as floating point numbers?</p>
  
  <p>I tried using <code>read(4)</code>, but it automatically converts them to a string with ascii encoding. </p>
  
  <p>I also tried using <code>bytearray</code> but that only takes it in 1 byte at a time instead of 4 bytes at a time as I need.</p>
