The datetime module would benefit from having as_integer_ratio() supported by more types. It's been hard to resist requests to allow Decimal in timedelta constructors and/or arithmetics >>> timedelta(Decimal('1.5')) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unsupported type for timedelta days component: decimal.Decimal but >>> timedelta(1.5) datetime.timedelta(days=1, seconds=43200) I don't recall why we decided not to accept anything with an .as_integer_ratio() method.
