New submission from Case Van Horsen:
When attempting to convert a float("nan"), float("inf"), or float("-inf"),
fractions.Fraction() raises different exceptions than int()
>>> int(float("nan"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer
>>> fractions.Fraction(float("nan"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/local/lib/python3.2/fractions.py", line 114, in __new__
value = Fraction.from_float(numerator)
File "/opt/local/lib/python3.2/fractions.py", line 186, in from_float
raise TypeError("Cannot convert %r to %s." % (f, cls.__name__))
TypeError: Cannot convert nan to Fraction.
>>> int(float("inf"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: cannot convert float infinity to integer
>>> fractions.Fraction(float("inf"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/local/lib/python3.2/fractions.py", line 114, in __new__
value = Fraction.from_float(numerator)
File "/opt/local/lib/python3.2/fractions.py", line 186, in from_float
raise TypeError("Cannot convert %r to %s." % (f, cls.__name__))
TypeError: Cannot convert inf to Fraction.
>>> int(float("-inf"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: cannot convert float infinity to integer
>>> fractions.Fraction(float("-inf"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/local/lib/python3.2/fractions.py", line 114, in __new__

File "/opt/local/lib/python3.2/fractions.py", line 186, in from_float
raise TypeError("Cannot convert %r to %s." % (f, cls.__name__))
TypeError: Cannot convert -inf to Fraction.
Should the exceptions be changed to ValueError and OverflowError?
