I don't think it can be ruled out. If I'm reading the code right, it's preceded by this branch of the initial if/elif chain: elif (isinstance(numerator, numbers.Rational) and isinstance(denominator, numbers.Rational)): numerator, denominator = ( numerator.numerator * denominator.denominator, denominator.numerator * numerator.denominator ) I don't think there's any guarantee that if `numerator` is an instance of `numbers.Rational`, then `numerator.numerator` and `numerator.denominator` have exact type `int`. (Note that an instance of `numbers.Rational` is not necessarily an instance of `fractions.Fraction`.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
