Paul Moore added the comment: Is it not reasonable to simply say that implementations of numbers.Rational which allow the numerator and denominator to have types for which true division doesn't return a float, have to provide their own implementation of __float__()?
It's certainly less convenient, and probably surprising for users, but the alternative is trying to work around broken integer types - after all numbers.Complex.__truediv__ says "Should promote to float when necessary" in the docstring, which to me says that a type where a/b doesn't return a float doesn't conform to the numeric tower. ---------- nosy: +paul.moore _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23975> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
