Could you all please start another thread if you want to discuss possible changes to Error handling for floats. Or anything that isn't strictly adding some names to builtins.
This is *all* about adding names to builtins. *Nobody* is seriously proposing changes to Error handling for floats, although there has been some speculation that it could be considered. Subthread tl;dr -- handling of expressions potentially involving numbers not representable as finite floats in Python is a big mess. Too much of the mess is already present in the builtins, *don't* add any more.
There's been ongoing confusion from the expansion of the original topic here.
There has been no expansion to other proposed changes, except the question of whether inf (or Infinity) should be a keyword (I don't think that's been seriously proposed either, except mayby in the OP).
