New submission from Marcos Donolo <mdon...@vt.edu>:
The ** operator produces an error when it gets inf as an argument.
if I try.
>>>a=float('inf')
>>>a*a
inf
-but if I try
>>>a**2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: (34, 'Result too large')
I should get inf too.
