Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: This seems like a reasonable request to me; I'd like to see a little bit of convergence between the float and Decimal APIs.
One difference between the two types that's worth noting is that the float.as_integer_ratio() method can never take a ridiculous amount of time or memory, whereas Decimal.as_integer_ratio() could: e.g., consider Decimal('1e999999999').as_integer_ratio(). But I don't really see that as a problem. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8947> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
