.. Patch #957003
* A new variable in the :mod:`sys` module,
:attr:`float_info`, is a dictionary
:attr:`float_info`, is an object
containing information about the platform's floating-point support
derived from the :file:`float.h` file. Key/value pairs
in this dictionary include
``"mant_dig"`` (number of digits in the mantissa), ``"epsilon"``
derived from the :file:`float.h` file. Attributes of this object
include
:attr:`mant_dig` (number of digits in the mantissa), :attr:`epsilon`
(smallest difference between 1.0 and the next largest value
representable), and several others. (Contributed by Christian Heimes.)
