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')? Sasha
