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?
