 This PEP has been rejected. After sitting open for four years, it has
 failed to generate sufficient community interest.
 
+Several ideas of this PEP were implemented for Python 2.6. ``float('inf')``
+and ``repr(float('inf'))`` are now guaranteed to work on every supported
+platform with IEEE 754 semantics. However the ``eval(repr(float('inf')))``
+roundtrip is still not supported unless you define inf and nan yourself::
 
+    >>> inf = float('inf')
+    >>> inf, 1E400
+    (inf, inf)
+    >>> neginf = float('-inf')
+    >>> neginf, -1E400
+    (-inf, -inf)
+    >>> nan = float('nan')
+    >>> nan, inf * 0.
+    (nan, nan)
+
+The math and the sys module have gained additional features, too::
+
+    >>> import math, sys
+    >>> from pprint import pprint
+    >>> pprint(sys.float_info)
+    {'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}
+    >>> math.isinf(inf), math.isnan(inf)
+    (True, False)
+    >>> math.isinf(nan), math.isnan(nan)
+    (False, True)
+    >>> math.copysign(1, 0.)
+    1.0
+    >>> math.copysign(1, -0.)
