Agreed.  It's maybe even annoying enough that a feature request
at bugs.python.org might be honoured.  (Hint, hint!)

It's fairly easy to emulate in Python 2.6 and above, using the
as_integer_ratio float method:

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> from math import pi
>>> n, d = pi.as_integer_ratio()
>>> Decimal(n)/d
Decimal('3.141592653589793115997963469')
