Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I think it's okay to accept Fraction('1.23', 1) -- if only because rejecting it means changing the default for the 2nd arg to None and that would slow it down again.
I agree that if the type of the 2nd arg isn't int or long it should be rejected. That should not slow down the common path (two ints). _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1682> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
