it is. OP has it in his/her data.
Looking back through the many emails about this so far, I didn't see where the OP explained why he wanted this to work. Zaur Shibzukhov never said he had it in his data, he said, "Is it good idea to allow float('∞') to be float('inf') in python?" and, "Because infinity is special case of numbers. Unicode standard have regular infinity symbol and it's natural to represent inifinity as ∞." As near as I can tell, we don't have an actual use case yet. --Ned.
