Mark Dickinson added the comment:
More info: the reason for the difference is that in Python 3.4, float("nan")
and float("inf") create the float directly from the appropriate bit-pattern,
rather than deferring to the platform's definition of nan. This change was
introduced to avoid obscure problems on platforms where the Py_NAN macros were
causing compile-time errors. There should be a (resolved, fixed) issue about
this somewhere on the tracker, but I don't have the number handy right now.
I don't consider this a bug.
