Metadata-Version: 1.0 Name: fpconst Version: 0.7.2 Summary: Utilities for handling IEEE 754 floating point special values Home-page: http://www.analytics.washington.edu/statcomp/projects/rzope/fpconst/ Author: Gregory Warnes Author-email: Gregory.R.Warnes@Pfizer.com License: UNKNOWN Description: Utilities for handling IEEE 754 floating point special values This python module implements constants and functions for working with IEEE754 double-precision special values. It provides constants for Not-a-Number (NaN), Positive Infinity (PosInf), and Negative Infinity (NegInf), as well as functions to test for these values. The code is implemented in pure python by taking advantage of the 'struct' standard module. Care has been taken to generate proper results on both big-endian and little-endian machines. Some efficiency could be gained by translating the core routines into C. See for reference material on the IEEE 754 floating point standard.
