[New-bugs-announce] [issue1635] Float patch for inf and nan on Windows (and other platforms)

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

The patch unifies the creation and representation of "inf", "-inf" and
"nan" on all platforms. 

>>> float("inf")
inf
>>> float("-inf")
-inf
>>> float("nan")
nan
>>> repr(1e300 * 1e300)
'inf'
>>> repr(1e300 * 1e300 * 0)
'nan'
>>> repr(1e300 * 1e300 * -1)
'-inf'
