i found several places in my code where i use positive infinity
(posinf) for various things, i.e.,
def readline(self, limit = -1):
if limit 0:
limit = 1e1 # posinf
chars = []
while limit 0:
ch = self.read(1)
chars.append(ch)

sys.maxint makes more sense there.
no, it requires *infinity* to accomplish x - y == x; y != 0, for example:
while limit 0:
limit -= len(chunk)
with limit = posinf, the above code should be equivalent to while True.
There is already a PEP 754 for float constants
okay, that would suffice.

that's a remarkably stupid way to count bytes. if you want to argue for

Um, you do realize that you're not going to be able to fit sys.maxint
strings into a list,

Hi everyone,
Guido van Rossum suggested I send this email here.

Base (LSB), the interoperability standard for the Linux distributions.

Mr. Rossum,
I saw an old post you made about the Google Internships (Jan
25,2006). As a prospective for next summer, you mention that it would
be in my best interest to contact brett Cannon. I have many questions
I'd love to have answered, how do I go about contacting him? I look

the pep is three years old... it should either be rejected or accepted.
meanwhile, there are lots of missing API functions in the floating-point
implementation...
It's not rejected because people keep

i can multiply by four, thank you. of course i don't expect anyone to read
