Comparing floats to Fractions gives unexpected results: # Python 3.3 py> from fractions import Fraction py> 1/3 == Fraction(1, 3) False
but: py> 1/3 == float(Fraction(1, 3)) True I expected that float-to-Fraction comparisons would convert the Fraction to a float, but apparently they do the opposite: they convert the float to a Fraction: py> Fraction(1/3) Fraction(6004799503160661, 18014398509481984) Am I the only one who is surprised by this? Is there a general rule for which way numeric coercions should go when doing such comparisons? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
