Agreed. It's maybe even annoying enough that a feature request
at bugs.python.org might be honoured. (Hint, hint!)
It's fairly easy to emulate in Python 2.6 and above, using the
as_integer_ratio float method:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> from math import pi
>>> n, d = pi.as_integer_ratio()
>>> Decimal(n)/d
Decimal('3.141592653589793115997963469')
