The old documentation specifies that it's -sys.maxint - 1, so could just use that, or make a constant of your own with that value. Do note that in the current version maxint has been removed and probably shouldn't be used in new code.

You can use float('-inf') if that meets your criteria otherwise you can do -1*sys.maxsize
