Please read about floating point arithmetic in the tutorial:

   http://docs.python.org/tutorial/floatingpoint.html

Also observe that this works:

    >>> Fraction(Decimal('1.23'))
    Fraction(123, 100)

So yes, it is a limitation in how floating point is represented...in all 
languages and platforms that use binary floating point.
