See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-July/081242.html for the discussion. Basically, 'F' did the same as 'f' because it was assumed that neither would ever produce an exponent. But they do, for numbers greater than about 1e50. Also, 'F' should produce 'NAN' for cases where 'f' produces 'nan'.
