If you provid an input to the FloatField that is too big for example toolargeinput.txt it will crash with the following error
File ".../lib/python3.10/site-packages/rest_framework/fields.py", line 994, in to_internal_value
return float(data)
OverflowError: int too large to convert to float
I propose to fix this by adding the following to the exception list OverflowError so the line change as below

# current implementation
# except (TypeError, ValueError):
# proposed change to handle this bug
