New submission from Jon Clements <jon...@googlemail.com>:
I'm not a numeric expert but I was looking at a post on S/O which related to
converting a Fraction to a certain amount of decimal places. I've had a hunt on
the tracker but couldn't find anything relevant, but if I've missed it, I
apologise.
# F=Fraction, D=Decimal classes
If I try num = D( F(5, 7) )
I get: TypeError: Cannot convert Fraction(5, 7) to Decimal
So I do:
>>> D(f.numerator) / D(f.denominator)
Decimal('0.7142857142857142857142857143')
Which I think is the correct result?
I guess my question is - should Decimal do this implicitly for Fraction?
