 From a mailing list post by Josef:

 Why does converting nan to an integer not throw an exception (as with
 inf), instead numpy silently replaces nan by zero?

 {{{
 >>> inti = np.array([0,1,2])
 >>> inti[1] = np.inf
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#34>", line 1, in ?
    inti[1] = np.inf
 OverflowError: cannot convert float infinity to long
 >>> inti[1] = np.nan
 >>> inti
 array([0, 0, 2])
 }}}
