Lucas Prado Melo <lucaspradom...@gmail.com> added the comment: I would like to ask as a feature request that "inf" be almost equal to "inf". I wrote a program with a timeline class that had a method to tell the time of the last event registered into it such that some events would be positioned at the infinite when they wouldn't occur. I did generic tests that would receive any output from this method and compare to the expected result through unittest.TestCase.assertAlmostEqual(). Notice, though, that I couldn't just pick assertEqual() to do this job because the time of the last event would be defined through a series of calculations. Despite that, I believe that everything which is equal to anything else would definitely be almost equal too. Thus, it would be nice to check for equality before checking for almost-equality to define whether two objects are almost equal.
