You can already experiment with this.


First, install a few packages

python -m pip install ideas  # will also install token-utils
python -m pip install fraction-literal

Next, start your standard Python interpreter and do the following:

>>> from ideas import experimental_syntax_encoding
>>> from ideas import console
>>> console.start()
Configuration values for the console:
    transform_source: <function transform_source at 0x00E61FA8>
--------------------------------------------------
Ideas Console version 0.0.19. [Python version: 3.7.8]

Fraction(2, 3)

Appending an "F" after integer fractions literal is all that is needed.

Thanks Andre I tried it out and it works great.

Do the appended capital Fs make these numbers look like some kind of hexadecimal representation or is it just me?
