+"""Utilities for handling IEEE 754 floating point special values
+
+This python module implements constants and functions for working with
+IEEE754 double-precision special values.  It provides constants for
+Not-a-Number (NaN), Positive Infinity (PosInf), and Negative Infinity
+(NegInf), as well as functions to test for these values.
+
+The code is implemented in pure python by taking advantage of the
+'struct' standard module. Care has been taken to generate proper
+results on both big-endian and little-endian machines. Some efficiency
+could be gained by translating the core routines into C.
+
+See <http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/courses/cs341/IEEE-754references.html>
+for reference material on the IEEE 754 floating point standard.
+
+Further information on this package is available at
+<http://software.biostat.washington.edu/statsoft/snake/fpconst>.
