At http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?can=2&q=2950 I give the
reasons why I don't think it should.
The work is at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1680 (which disallows
it).
Should we just let the user shoot themselves in the foot if they request
Rational from floats or should we
It's worth pointing out that Float does the same thing, if you give it a
high enough precision. Try Float(3.2, 100) for example.
To me, it should just work. Yes, we should encourage the use of strings
over float literals, but Rational(float) not working makes it seem as if
the conversion is not su

Hello,
from mathematical point of view, the floats are a kind of approximations.
So if someone
wants to have a rational form of one float, I think that it could be better
that this user must
convert first the float to one decimal and then to one rational. Not user
friendly but more
precise.
I don'
