It would be equivalent to "not isinf(x) and not isnan(x)".

+1.  This is natural counterpart to math.isinf and math.isnan.  In fact, it's quite surprising to have those two functions available and not math.isfinite.

Here's a patch.

Version 2 of patch adds cmath.isfinite, and changes doc markup to use ``True`` instead of :const:`True`  (thanks Benjamin!).

Looks good to me.
