You do realise that by putting limits on the denominator, you guarantee that the sum of the fractions also has a limit on the denominator? In other words, your "test" is useless. With denominators limited to 1 through 9 inclusive, the sum will have a denominator of 2*3*5*7 = 210. But that limit is a product (literally and figuratively) of your artificial limit on the denominator. Add a fraction with denominator 11, and the sum now has a denominator of 2310; add another fraction n/13 and the sum goes to m/30030; and so on. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
