Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
Given that
>>> 1.0**float('inf'), 1.0**float('-inf')
(1.0, 1.0)
works,
>>> (1.0+0j)**(float('inf') + 0j)
Traceback ...
ZeroDivisionError: 0.0 to a negative or complex power
(and same for ('-inf') seems like a clear bug in raising an exception, let
alone a clearly wrong exception. Clarification of murky cases, if it changes
behavior, might be an enhancement.
