[Python-Dev] Adding a Rational Type to Python

Whether or not Python adopts rationals as the default number type, a
rational() built-in would be a Good Thing. I'd like to see it in 2.1 or
2.2.

I think that Python users should be allowed to experiment with it before
it becomes the default. If I recode my existing programs to use
rationals and they experience an exponential slow-down, that might
influence my recommendation to Guido.
