Raymond Hettinger 909e334e8a More code cleanup. Remove unnecessary indirection to useless class methods. 2008-01-24 23:50:26 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 5b0e27e50d Add support for int(r) just like the other numeric classes. 2008-01-24 19:30:19 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7a6eacd2ca Clean-up and speed-up code by accessing numerator/denominator directly. There's no reason to enforce readonliness 2008-01-24 18:05:54 +00:00

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.

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.
