Python 2.4 does not marshal infinity floating point properly under Win32

Hi all, When using Python 2.4.x on a Win32 box, marshal.loads(marshal.dumps(1e6)) returns 1.0 instead of infinity as it should and does under Python 2.5 (also running on Win32 ). This problem was reported in another thread here by Peter Hansen http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.py

One of the things I find annoying about Python is that when you make a change to a method definition that change is not reflected in existing instances of a class (because you're really defining a new class when you reload a class definition, not actually redefining it). So I came up with thi
