Right, there is no standard string representation for IEEE-754
infinities. Python currently just does whatever the system platform
does. Namely, float('inf') works on most Linux and OS X platforms and
fails on Windows. A simple cross-IEEE-754-compliant-platform way to
get inf and nan objects follows:
inf = 1e200 * 1e200
nan = inf / inf
