Comment (by pbruin):

 The "canonical" syntax for this kind of conversion would be
 {{{
 sage: S = QQ[['t']]  # construct power series ring
 sage: S(A)           # convert A into it, using default precision
 sage: S(A, prec=6)   # or using specified precision
 }}}
 However, the last two lines currently fail with
 {{{
 TypeError: denominator must be a unit
 }}}
 The following does work:
 {{{
 sage: L=S.laurent_series_ring()
 sage: L(A)
 1 + t + t^2 + t^3 + t^4 + t^5 + t^6 + t^7 + t^8 + t^9 + t^10 + t^11 + t^12
 + t^13 + t^14 + t^15 + t^16 + t^17 + t^18 + t^19 + O(t^20)
 }}}
 Unfortunately, this does not currently accept a precision argument.

 I think the easiest solution for `S(A)` is to fix
 `PowerSeriesRing._element_constructor_()` to accept rational functions.
