Because, like most real-world programming languages (or, for that matter, the x86 CPU series), it has no rationals built-in. It will not interfere with Sage just like C division currently does not interfere: Sage integers are different for Python integers (with suitable type promotions to make it easy to use) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
