I'm having second thoughts about this; it doesn't seem worth adding an extra check that has to be applied every time a Fraction is created from a string (or another Rational instance). The condition being checked for (a denominator equal to 1, but not of type int or long) is unlikely to occur in practice, and fairly harmless even if it does occur. So I'm thinking that PBP says leave it alone. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1682> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
