[issue9829] Unexpected Fraction.from_float() Behavior

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Please read about floating point arithmetic in the tutorial:

   http://docs.python.org/tutorial/floatingpoint.html

Also observe that this works:

    >>> Fraction(Decimal('1.23'))
    Fraction(123, 100)

So yes, it is a limitation in how floating point is represented...in all languages and platforms that use binary floating point.
