So how does one turn them off in standard Python?
Turn them off? You have to find a way to turn them on first! What makes
you think that Python supports IEEE-754 for floats?
So if Python doesn't support IEEE-754 for floats, why the big deal about
NaNs? Does it have to do with how the NumPy, SciPy, Sage, etc.,
libraries interface with Python?
