cpython/Lib/test/test_float.py
Alex Martelli 20362a820b x**2 should about equal x*x (including for a float x such that the result is
inf) but didn't; added a test to test_float to verify that, and ignored the
ERANGE value for errno in the pow operation to make the new test pass (with
help from Marilyn Davis at the Google Python Sprint -- thanks!).
