Hi, I am experiencing some trouble with gmpy v1.01. Multiplying an mpq with inf results in a floating point exception that exits python. Has this already been fixed in newer gmpy versions?
~ $ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 26 2007, 00:32:54) [GCC 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from gmpy import mpq as Rational >>> a=Rational(2,3) >>> b=1.0e99999 >>> b inf >>> int(b) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OverflowError: cannot convert float infinity to long >>> a+b Floating point exception ~ $ BTW. 1) What is the best way to test for inf regardless of type? 2) Is there any inf type around with a + inf == inf inf > a (as long as a != inf) etc. that works with any other type? Thanks in advance Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
