 I am working on adding half-floats to the struct module for CPython 3.3.

 http://bugs.python.org/issue11734

 I would like to get support for this into 1.6.0b2 if possible.  I realize
 that that's putting the cart before the horse a little bit, since the
 change hasn't been formally accepted into CPython yet.
