You mean PEP 754, right?  Just like creating an arbitrarily large
integer, floating point infinity is also arbitrary, and may not be big
enough.

I just got a comment from another user suggesting modifying the
min/max.__cmp__ so that they are the actual minimum and maximum.

An interesting approach, which makes some sense to me.

P.S.
Right now:
>>> min > max
