OK - sorry for the noise...  this is how to do it:

>>> N.nan_to_num(  N.array([N.nan,N.inf,-N.inf],N.float32)  )
[  0.00000000e+00   3.40282347e+38  -3.40282347e+38]


In the meantime I noticed that there is a 
N.asarray_chkfinite() function
but no equivalent for 
N.asanyarray() !

Should   N.asanyarray_chkfinite()  be added  !?
