somebody want to explain this? infinity = 1.0e400

  the largest representable float in Python is around 10^300 something or so. Anything bigger is considered infinite. Peter Norvig wanted a name for the float bit pattern that represents infinity.

    float("inf")?

      >>> 1.0e400 == float("inf") True I don't know, if there is a difference. Maybe the interpreter can evaluate 1.0e400 a little faster?
