Why float('Nan') == float('Nan') is False

[Schachner, Joseph]

Because all comparisons with NAN return false, that's the spec.  is NAN > 0? False.  Is NAN< 0?   False.  Is NAN == 0?  False.  Is NAN == <anything>? False. So: Is NAN == NAN? False. And one more:  Is NAN < 1.0e18? False

This makes some sense because NAN is Not A Number, so any comparison to a number fails.
