Taking a step back from all this, why does Python allow NaNs to arise from computations *at all*?
+Inf and -Inf are arguably useful elements of the algebra, yet Python insists on raising an exception for 1.0./0.0 instead of returning an infinity. Why do this but not raise an exception for any operation that produces a NaN? -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
