Right - but - we'd still need to round, and take care of the nasty
issue of thresholding:
>>> x = np.array([np.inf, -np.inf, np.nan, -128, 128])
>>> x
array([ inf, -inf, nan, -128., 128.])
>>> nnx = np.nan_to_num(x)
>>> nnx
array([ 1.79769313e+308, -1.79769313e+308, 0.00000000e+000,
-1.28000000e+002, 1.28000000e+002])
>>> np.rint(nnx).astype(np.int8)
array([ 0, 0, 0, -128, -128], dtype=int8)
So, I think nice_round would look something like:
def nice_round(arr, out_type):
in_type = arr.dtype.type
mx = floor_exact(np.iinfo(out_type).max, in_type)
mn = floor_exact(np.iinfo(out_type).max, in_type)
nans = np.isnan(arr)
out = np.rint(np.clip(arr, mn, mx)).astype(out_type)
out[nans] = 0
return out
with floor_exact being something like:

See you,
