Currently Python has no information about the maximum and minimum value of a float. The patch adds a dict with all important information to sys: >>> pprint.pprint(sys.maxfloat) {'dig': 15, 'epsilon': 2.2204460492503131e-16, 'mant_dig': 53, 'max': 1.7976931348623157e+308, 'max_10_exp': 308, 'max_exp': 1024, 'min': 2.2250738585072014e-308, 'min_10_exp': -307, 'min_exp': -1021, 'radix': 2, 'rounds': 1} The patch compiles on Linux and Windows.
