[issue2121] complex constructor doesn't accept string with nan and inf

[Mark Dickinson]

cdavid, in your application, how hard is it to work around the problem by 
simply printing and parsing pairs of floats rather than complex numbers?

E.g.,

<get real part and imaginary part from string> 
z = complex(float(real_part), float(imag_part))
