Stefan Krah added the comment: According to IEEE 754-2008 binary floats should use the same exceptions in this case.
7.2 Invalid operation ... e) division: division(0, 0) or division(∞, ∞) 7.3 Division by zero The divideByZero exception shall be signaled if and only if an exact infinite result is defined for an operation on finite operands. But the Python binary float implementation is a lot older than the 2008 standard. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22306> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
