"timestamp with time zone" and infinity value select

[plocharz-9livesdata]

When selecting a column of type "timestamp with time zone" with value "infinity" or "-infinity" psycopg converts it to datetime type without timezone. For all other values psycopg converts to datetime type with timezone. Datetime with and without timezone are not comparable which leads to confusing errors:

import psycopg2

conn = psycopg2.connect("postgresql://...")
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("""SELECT '2017-01-01 12:34:56'::timestamp with time zone""")
normal = cur.fetchall()[0][0]
print normal

cur.execute("""SELECT 'infinity'::timestamp with time zone""")
inf = cur.fetchall()[0][0]
print inf

print normal > inf

2017-01-01 12:34:56+01:00
9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo-timezone.py", line 25, in <module>
    print normal > inf
TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

It seems an error, yes. I'll look into it.
