As of Python 3.5, you can write infinity as math.inf (having put import math in your imports), and negative infinity as -math.inf.

@ArthurTacca, type(math.inf) is float and not int.

@Christian You are right. math.inf is now better than writing float('inf') as suggested in this answer. However, it gives the same actual value, it doesn't answer the original question any better. I hadn't meant to suggest that it does, but I can see that my comment didn't make that clear.
