Masking FPU Exceptions

Delphi raises an exception when floating operations result produce +/- infinity (e.g. division by zero). This setting is not compatible with a number of Python libraries such as numpy and scipy.

Python for Delphi provides a procedure MaskFPUExceptions that can help resolve such issues. If you get errors when using python libraries you make want to take the following statement:

 MaskFPUExceptions(True)

to either the initialization section of any unit or to the OnBeforeLoad event handler of the PythonEngine.
