[issue14875] Unusual way of doing 'Inf' in json library

New submission from Sasha B <sbermeister at gmail.com>:

If you have a look at the file 'python/Lib/json/encode.py', on line 30 it says:

    # Assume this produces an infinity on all machines (probably not guaranteed)
    INFINITY = float('1e66666')
    FLOAT_REPR = repr

Isn't float('Inf') an accepted way of doing this? Should line 31 be INFINITY = float('Inf')?
