Me: Does anyone know why each call to float('nan') gives a different instance?
#Python Core Devs: https://discuss.python.org/t/question-about-float-nan/106378

I guess I have a lot more fodder than I bargained for for that talk I'm working on.

Question about `float('nan')`

I am working on a talk I would like to give at PyOhio about float(‘nan’) and I was wondering if anyone knows why each call to float(‘nan’) returns a different instance? TIA.
