Paul Price added the comment:
You missed out an "is":
Raises :exc:`ValueError` if an invalid resource is specified, if the new soft
limit exceeds the hard limit, or if a process tries to raise its hard limit
(unless the process has an effective UID of super-user). Specifying an
infinite/unlmited limit when the hard or system limit for that resource **is** not
unlimited will result in a :exc:`ValueError`. ``setrlimit`` may also raise
:exc:`error` if the underlying system call fails.
