Aha! Same version (2.3.4):

(which is actually 1.0)

python via command line (readline support):
   >>> 1e10000
   1.#INF
   >>> import struct; struct.pack('d', 1e10000)
   '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf0\x7f'

Same results (command line vs. Idle) for 2.4.1.

On Python 2.2.3: (#42, Jun 4 2003, 10:33:42) IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help
1e1000
1.#INF

So, sometime after that.
