[New-bugs-announce] [issue44115] Improve conversions for fractions

[Martin Teichmann]

New submission from Martin Teichmann <martin.teichmann at gmail.com>:

Currently, fraction.Fractions can be generated from floats via their as_integer_ratio method. This had been extended to also work with the Decimals class. It would be more generic - and IMHO more Pythonic - to just allow any data type, as long as it has an as_integer_ratio method.

As an example, this allows numpy floats to be converted into fractions.
