[New-bugs-announce] [issue38432] ZeroDivisionError when inf is expected

[Behzad Seyfi]

New submission from Behzad Seyfi <seyfibeh at gmail.com>:

>>> 1/1e-323
inf

>>> 1/1e-324
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

in a 1/x fraction, up to x = 1e-324 it is inf but when x = 1e-325 or little it throws ZeroDivisionError. It is not acceptable and accountable behaviour for inf definition.
