I would prefer to only add inf. It looks like float("-inf") and -float("inf") have exactly the same IEEE 754 representation (at least on my x86_64 CPU): >>> struct.pack("d", float("-inf")) == struct.pack("d", -float("inf")) True ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23185> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
