Nah. Python gets it right; all high level languages should operate this way. Division by zero is a bug 90% of the time. Errors should never pass silently. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

IEEE floats should be a base on which more reasonable math semantics are built. Saying that Python should return NaN or inf instead of throwing an error is like saying that Python should return a random value from memory or segfault when reading an out-of-bounds list index.
