Tim Peters	c54d19043a	SF bug 115831 and Ping's SF patch 101751, 0.0**-2.0 returns inf rather than ... raise ValueError. Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising 0 to a negative number. This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity. Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply algorithm. Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow does, and will still vary by platform.	2000-10-06 00:36:09 +00:00
