Raymond Hettinger	cf10926088	Add first-cut at an approximation function (still needs rounding tweaks). Add continued fraction conversions.	2008-01-24 00:54:21 +00:00
Jeffrey Yasskin	45169fbc80	Several tweaks: add construction from strings and .from_decimal(), change ... __init__ to __new__ to enforce immutability, and remove "rational." from repr and the parens from str.	2008-01-19 09:56:06 +00:00
Jeffrey Yasskin	d7b00334f3	Add rational.Rational as an implementation of numbers.Rational with infinite ... precision. This has been discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue1682. It's useful primarily for teaching, but it also demonstrates how to implement a member of the numeric tower, including fallbacks for mixed-mode arithmetic. I expect to write a couple more patches in this area: * Rational.from_decimal() * Rational.trim/approximate() (maybe with different names) * Maybe remove the parentheses from Rational.__str__() * Maybe rename one of the Rational classes * Maybe make Rational('3/2') work.	2008-01-15 07:46:24 +00:00
