New submission from Mark Dickinson <[email protected]>:
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)
