Hi,

In Py30a3 the rational module seems to have been renamed 'fractions'. This module provides an additional numeric data type "fractions.Fraction". But there is an existing module that provides a numeric data type: "decimal.Decimal". Wouldn't it be more consistent to have "fraction.Fraction" to match?
