A floating-point “not a number” (NaN) value. Equivalent to the output of float('nan'). Due to the requirements of the IEEE-754 standard, math.nan and float('nan') are not considered to equal to any other numeric value, including themselves. To check whether a number is a NaN, use the isnan() function to test for NaNs instead of is or ==. Example:
math.nan>>> import math
>>> math.nan == math.nan
False
>>> float('nan') == float('nan')
False
>>> math.isnan(math.nan)
True
>>> math.isnan(float('nan'))
True
