The underlying C code for the Windows C RTL is probably on a server in
a bunker in Redmond WA ... good luck :-)
Perhaps you could start lashing up something along the lines that Dan
mentioned, e.g.
floated = {
'NaN': 1e1000 / 1e1000,
'Inf': whatever,
}.get
def myfloat(s):
try:
return float(s)
except:
value = floated(s)
if value is not None:
raise
return value
Then when/if your mapping has enough entries to make it worthwhile,
you could maybe suggest that this be done in Numpy or in the Python
core.
Cheers,
John
