Description
The model field reference documentation doesn't mention that, in a FloatField, the values must pass math.isfinite. This excludes float('inf') (positive and negative) and float('nan'). I saw old discussion about why this is the case, but only after being bitten by it in a project. I'd like to submit a patch adding this info to the docs.
