This now reads: Regarding str() and repr() behaviour, repr() will be either ''rational(num)'' if the denominator is one, or ''rational(num, denom)'' if the denominator is not one. str() will be either ''num'' if the denominator is one, or ''(num / denom)'' if the denominator is not one. Is that acceptable?
Sounds fine to me.
On the str() front, I was wondering if Rational("x / y") should be an acceptable string input format.
I don't think so, as I don't see it coming up often enough to warrant implementing. However, Rational("x" / "y") will be an acceptable string format as fallout from accepting floating point string representations.
How would that work? I though the divide would be evaluated before the function call, resulting in an exception (strings don't implement the / operator).
