Hi list,
I have this problem
str(numpy.inf) under linux give 'inf'
str(numpy.inf) under win32 give '1.#INF'
It is a problem for me because with a GUI in LineEdit, for example, the
end user who have to enter a float can enter inf under linux but not
under win32.
Any idea to solve this ?
No. We (and Python) defer to the C library for such things, and they each use
different representations.
