Ticket #34260 – Description
initial v5 1 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.1 The model field reference documentation doesn't mention that, in a FloatField, non-numeric values have database-dependent behavior. `float('nan')` on SQLite requires the field to be nullable, for example. 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.
