Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com> added the comment: I also thought about ±∞. But PyLong_AsDouble() raises OverflowError for out-of-range value. And it checks strictly out of ±DBL_MAX.
Because float(10**1000) returns no float('inf'), but raises an exception, I think that returning ±∞ will be wrong. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14722> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
