Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I agree with Raymond, at least for now.  I would expect the string argument to 
Fraction to be quoted legal Python code.  Without a lot of thought and 
discussion leading to a change in python design with respect to unicode and 
operators, this limits  '/' to ascii '/'.

I believe that we accept non-ascii digits in at least some places, but 
operators are a different case.

slashes -> Make Fraction(string) handle non-ascii slashes
