Does it differ from the built-in inf? I would like to second the OP's question if there is a generic inf and add the wish that that is not equal to itself (inf == inf would yield nan). Ideally, it would not be of type float and work with gmpy mpq. But I might have rare requirements... Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
