complex(1., 0.) ** complex(float('inf'), 0.) raises a ZeroDivisionError. In general, complex_power() needs to handle more corner cases. Barring a clear standard for pow() in C99, the documentation for pow 3 in glibc
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/pow.3.html
seems solid for a start, however it only describes behaviour for float/double values.

Where would be an appropriate place to add tests? I propose adding a test-case file similar to cmath_testcases.txt (attached) and a test runner similar to test_cmath.py
