New submission from Mark Dickinson: This request relates to issue 1635:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1635 which allows cross-platform creation of infinities and nans. The IEEE754 standard, the C99 standard, and the standard on which Decimal is based all allow creation of an infinity from the string 'Infinity' (case-independent), as well as from 'inf'. Is there any reason not to allow this for floats? I'm happy to create a patch. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 59146 nosy: marketdickinson severity: minor status: open title: Allow float('infinity') as well as float('inf') type: rfe versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1729> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
