i found several places in my code where i use positive infinity
(posinf) for various things, i.e.,
def readline(self, limit = -1):
if limit < 0:
limit = 1e1 # posinf
chars = []
while limit > 0:
ch = self.read(1)
chars.append(ch)

no, it requires *infinity* to accomplish x - y == x; y != 0, for example:
while limit > 0:
limit -= len(chunk)
with limit = posinf, the above code should be equivalent to "while True".

okay, that would suff

that's a remarkably stupid way to count bytes. if you want to argue for

Um, you do realize that you're not going to be able to fit sys.maxint

Hi everyone,
Guido van Rossum suggested I send this email here.
I'm CTO of the Free Standards Group and chair of the Linux Standard
Base (LSB), the interoperability standard for the Linux distributions.
We're wanting to add Python to the next version of the LSB (LSB 3.2) [1]

Mr. Rossum,
I saw an old post you made about the Google Internships (Jan
25,2006). As a prospective for next summer, you mention that it would
be in my best interest to contact brett Cannon. I have many questions
I'd love to have answered, how do I go about contacting him? I look
forward t

It's not rejected because people keep

i can multiply by four, thank you. of course i don't expect anyone to read
a string *that* long.
besides, this *particular example* isn't important, it was just meant to
show why someone might wan
I've been looking once again over the docs for distutils and setuptools,

to be".
Before I get into detail, however, I want to explain carefully the scope
