I'll take a look soonish.  Since it has its own BPO, I'll go ahead and close 
this.

FWIW, the entire point of us having recently added as_integer_ratio() methods 
to so many concrete classes is to avoid the need for helper functions in favor 
of a simple try/except around a single call.  Please don't try to code around 
that solution.
