If you want an exact result when multiplying arbitrary fractions, you
need to avoid floats and decimals and use Fractions:

Fraction(1, 2)**2

Fraction(1, 4)

Where do you get that from?

In Python2.6,

from fractions import Fraction

And Fraction is now a class which supports fractional arithmetic.
