Thank you very much for this, Jeroen. Most helpful. Perhaps revising https://docs.python.org/3/library/fractions.html, to mention sympy's symbolic Rational number class, would meet the original poster's request. Neil Girdhar - how does this sound to you? Short of migrating part of sympy into Python's standard library, I don't know what else we could reasonably do. -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
