Mark Dickinson added the comment:
Coming back to this, I think that it actually *is* clear what
struct(">f", large_float) should do: it should raise OverflowError.
This fits in well with the general philosophy that Python (at least
tries to) follow for floating-point exceptions.
The attached patch (705836_v2.patch) fixes this. All tests pass with
this patch applied.
I'll leave this around for a few days in case anyone wants to comment on
it; then I plan to apply it to the trunk.
