sys.maxint in Python 3

In some algorithms a sentinel value may be useful, so for Python 3.x sys.maxint may be replaced by an improvement of the following infinite and neginfinite singleton objects: class Infinite(object): def __repr__(self): return "infinite" def __cmp__(self, other): if other is infinit
