My experience is different. In my work, NaNs often creep into calculations that are not designed to deal with them. (More often from data files than from invalid operations.) Sorting a large list with a handful of NaNs, often leads to rather mysterious errors if not to silently wrong results. I believe there was even an issue on the tracker about this particular case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11949> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
