Friedrich, would you please use numpy.inf and -numpy.inf.

But if you have an integer array, you will run into the same problem. The result will be upcast to float. I think we would accept a patch that interprets None to be the appropriate extreme bound given the input datatype. This will be tricky, though, since it must be done in C (PyArray_Clip in numpy/core/src/multiarray/calculation.c). -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth."   -- Umberto Eco
