Stefan Krah added the comment: Keeping the API small is a good reason against it.
There aren't many ways to destructure a Decimal though: As far as I know, the return value of as_tuple() dates back from the time when the coefficient was actually a tuple. The function is slow and not really nice to use. Probably many people would be happy if we added as_integer_ratio() and an as_triple() function that represents the coefficient as an integer. > Off-topic: I wonder whether `int.as_integer_ratio` should be implemented (for > the same reasons that `int.numerator`, `int.real` and so on are). If users want to duck-type, I think yes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25928> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
