So far I received exactly the answer I was expecting. 0 examples of NaN!=NaN
being beneficial.
python-list (in whichever from you interact with it) is in no way specialized, yet you are asking for a highly
specialized bit of information.
I wasn't asking for help, I was making a point. Whether that will lead to
improvement of Python, well, I'm not too
optimistic, but I feel the point was worth making regardless.
The only point you have made is that no-one here uses them much. You could just as easily ask how many of us use
lead-alloy to shield our in-home nuclear reactors to get the same answer.
On the other hand, if you go and ask on the numpy and simpy and whatever-math-or-science-py lists there are, and get
affirmative answers from them that yeah, NaN != NaN is just a huge pain and everyone is working around it, then brought
that information back here -- well, then you will have made the point that you want to make.
