Stefan Behnel added the comment: But these parameters could also be partly delegated to normal string (not number) formatting, right?
One of the advantages of not depending on Decimal is, well, to not depend on Decimal, which is a rather uncommon dependency when using Fractions in an application. I think it could avoid some more calculations to first multiply the nominator by 10**prec, then round(), int() and str() the result, and then split the string at "-prec". BTW, if "division with remainder" wasn't (sadly) linear time, that would definitely be the most beautiful algorithm here. :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23602> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
