Can you investigate this one a bit deeper? My guess is that
S *= 1.0 - prob
in the loop before is treating 1.0 as 10.0 due to the .pyc-file
locale-dependent loading problem I detailed earlier, and that S is
overflowing to infinity as a result. Printing S inside the loop would shed
best light on this, and printing S when the OverflowError occurs would nail
it:
>>> import math
>>> S = 1e200 * 1e200
>>> S
1.#INF
>>> math.log(S)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OverflowError: math range error
>>>
Not all platforms will raise OverflowError on log(infinity), but Windows
Python does. No platform other than Windows displays infinity as 1.#INF, by
the way (that's what MS C produces).
