You responded on-list to a private email that was even tagged as off-list. Please be more careful and courteous. Anyway, IEEE floating-point makes it pretty clear that any value that sets the exponent to all-ones and the mantissa to anything other than all-zeros is a NaN. So an all-ones hex pattern (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF....) will flood the area with NaNs. You really don't understand IEEE 754 here. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
