Thanks!
So here's what I wanted to do, or its beginning:
======================
from fractions import Fraction
from random import random
r = random()
print(r)
f = str(Fraction(str(r)).limit_denominator(100))
print(f)
n, d = f.split('/')
num, denom = int(n), int(d)
fraction = num/denom
error = abs(r - fraction)/r
print(error*100, "percent")
========================
Several outputs are
0.744931449894
73/98
0.00449581106515 percent
and
0.139041980606
5/36
0.110104672465 percent
and
0.577608333884
41/71
0.0248516413283 percent
