Vedran Čačić added the comment: Yes, although it can be viewed as a bugfix, it's impossible on Python 2. We _can_ do it on Python 2 too, with
def __new__(cls, numerator=0, denominator=None, *empty, _normalize=True): if empty: raise TypeError('too many positional arguments') ... but I'm not interested in it [and honestly, I'm sick of uglifying my code just to be able to run it on Py2]. Also, Mark Dickinson said (http://bugs.python.org/issue27539#msg273282) it shouldn't even be changed on Py3.5, so surely then it shouldn't be changed on Py2.7. :-) I think no deprecation is needed: it isn't (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/fractions.html?highlight=fraction#fractions.Fraction), and as far as I know has never been, documented. ---------- components: +Library (Lib) versions: +Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
