infinity

[Gregor Lingl]

I observed:

 >>> 1e308
1e+308
 >>> 1e309
1.#INF
 >>> 1e308*10
1.#INF
 >>> type(1e308*10)
<type 'float'>
 >>> -1e309
-1.#INF
 >>>

Is there a token or a name to input
this strange float object,
  __repr__esented by 1.0#INF
directly? For instance as follows:

def fun(a, mini=-?1.?INF? , maxi = ?1.?INF?):
     ....etc...
