I won't criticize your script, I just (for fun) checked your result
in a  quick and dirty manner, and indeed:

 >>> from math import pi
 >>> min([(abs(float(p)/q-pi)*100/pi,p,q) for q in range(2,200) for p in 
range(3*q, int(3.2*q))])
(8.4913678767406097e-006, 355, 113)

the next fraction which approximates pi better seems to be

 >>> min([(abs(float(p)/q-pi)*100/pi,p,q) for q in range(2,16717) for p 
in range(int(3.14*q), int(3.15*q))])
(8.4738311605107342e-006, 52163, 16604)
 >>>
