-both of these methods will raise an \code{xdrlib.ConversionError}

\begin{funcdesc}{pack_float}{value}
Packs the single-precision floating point number \var{value}.
\end{funcdesc}
In addition, every data type that can be packed with a \code{Packer},
can be unpacked with an \code{Unpacker}. Unpacking methods are of the
form \code{unpack_\var{type}}, and take no arguments. They return the
-unpacked object. The same caveats apply for \code{unpack_float} and
-\code{unpack_double} as above.
