This definition fails long before we get beyond 127-th code point:

float('infinity') inf What do infer from that? That the definition is wrong, or the code is wrong? The development version of the reference manual is more detailed, but as far as I can tell, it still defines digit as 0-9. http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/functions.html#float

I wasn't asking about 0..9, but about "infinity". According to the spec, it shouldn't accept that (and neither should it accept 'infinitY'). However, whether that's a spec bug or an implementation bug - it seems like a minor issue to me (i.e. easily fixed).
