In converting Fraction(m, n) to float, presumably you just do m / n, no? >>> float(Fraction(10**400, 10**399)) 10.0 >>> float(Fraction(10**400, 3)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/numbers.py", line 291, in __float__ return self.numerator / self.denominator OverflowError: integer division result too large for a float Seems reasonable to me. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/OJ3TF7Z4XX7SA2AOVOX4ALEIW2SZBPC7/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
