[Numpy-discussion] nan_to_num() SystemException

[Jonathan Taylor]

Ooops -- I posted this same question. Sorry.

One more bit of info:

ipdb> maxf
array(1.7976931348623157e+308)
ipdb> minf
-1.7976931348623157e+308
ipdb> type(maxf)
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>
ipdb> type(minf)
<type 'float64scalar'>
ipdb> y[are_inf] = float(maxf)
ipdb>
ipdb> y[are_inf]
array([], dtype=float64)
