That's why I think you need to be clear that your point isn't “computers don't work with real numbers”, but rather “computers work only with a limited subset of real numbers”.
They actually work with a subset of *rational* numbers. All floats representable by a computer are rational. The rationals happen to be a subset of the reals, but that's kind of beside the point given that a float can't represent *any* real number that isn't also a rational. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
