[issue18800] Document Fraction's numerator and denominator properties
New submission from icedream91: The document (http://docs.python.org/3/library/fractions.html) doesn't mention Fraction's numerator and denominator properties, I knew these properties from dir(). Since sometimes these two properties are very useful, for example: http://projecteuler.net/problem=33 and http://projecteuler.net/problem=57 , I think document should mention them. Thanks. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 195808 nosy: docs@python, icedream91 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document Fraction's numerator and denominator properties type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18800> _______________________________________

Madison May added the comment: The docs page does mention, however, that Fraction inherits from numbers.Rational, and links to that page (http://docs.python.org/2/library/numbers.html#numbers.Rational). There the properties 'numerator' and 'denominator' are clearly documented. Perhaps its still worth it to mention those properties on the Fraction docs page though, or to include them in one of the examples. ---------- nosy: +madison.may _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18800> _______________________________________
