New submission from Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com>: Here's a patch that allows direct construction of a Fraction instance from a float or Decimal instance, performing an exact conversion in either case.
>>> from fractions import Fraction >>> from decimal import Decimal >>> Fraction(1.1) Fraction(2476979795053773, 2251799813685248) >>> Fraction(Decimal('1.1')) Fraction(11, 10) >>> Fraction(Decimal(1.1)) Fraction(2476979795053773, 2251799813685248) ---------- assignee: rhettinger components: Library (Lib) files: fraction_from_float.patch keywords: patch messages: 102198 nosy: mark.dickinson, rhettinger severity: normal status: open title: Allow Fraction constructor to accept float and decimal instances directly. type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16738/fraction_from_float.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8294> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
