Module attributes make sense; make them attributes of object has the unfortunate side effect that they will be attributes of all objects and that doesn't seem a good idea.

The math module is only appropriate if this is primarily about float numbers. And see PEP 747 in that case.

You mean PEP 754, right? Just like creating an arbitrarily large integer, floating point infinity is also arbitrary, and may not be big enough.

I just got a comment from another user suggesting modifying the min/max.cmp so that they are the actual minimum and maximum.

An interesting approach, which makes some sense to me.

P.S. Right now:

min > max 1
