Where exactly have you been looking ? I guess not in Google, because the fifth result after querying "dbl_max" is http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2002-July/005916.html, which follows up to http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2002-July/005916.html. There is a Numeric subpackage named 'kinds' that provides it along with other constants, but it seems it has been excluded from the latest (and final I believe) version of Numeric (24.0b2) that I have installed, so I can't actually check it.
