Mark Dickinson <[email protected]> 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.
