But what about PEP 3141? The fractions.Fraction constructor accepts numbers.Rational instances, which do not necessarily have an as_integer_ratio() method. We can't just drop support for that (*). So in practice you do need to check both as_integer_ratio() and the PEP 3141 numerator/denominator properties. It seems useful to have a helper function for this. (*) Unless you want to deprecate PEP 3141. This may be less crazy than it sounds, especially given Guido van Rossum's reaction on https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-3141-ratio-instead-of-numerator-denominator/2037/25?u=jdemeyer ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37884> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
