[issue16469] Exceptions raised by Fraction() different from those raised by int()

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

The description of OverflowError is that is is "raised when the result of an arithmetic operation is too large to be represented", so it doesn't actually need to overflow. Still, I see that ∞ actually isn't too large to be represented (and the documentation points out that integer operations will raise MemoryError instead of OverflowError). So yes, ValueError seems more appropriate.

+1 for fixing this in 3.4, only.
