New submission from Francisco Couzo:

Most functions in the math library raise an OverflowError when the arguments are finite but the result is not.

>>> math.exp(sys.float_info.max)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: math range error

>>> math.degrees(sys.float_info.max)
inf
