[egenix-users] bugs in mx.Number.Rational

[Jeffrey O'Neill]

Hello,

I recently installed your mx.Number package in order to use the Rational 
number type in a software package I am working on: http://stv.sf.net. I do 
fairly intensive computations and I would like to convert my floating point 
calculations to rational number calculations.

Overall it seems to be working well, but I'm wondering if the following are 
two bugs:

(1) 
from math import *
a = Rational(pi) * Rational(e)
b = Rational(pi) / Rational(e)
a > b returns True as expected
a < b returns False as expected
a == b returns RuntimeWarning tp_compare didn't return -1, 0 or 1

(2)
a = Rational(1, 2)
a < 0.1 incorrectly returns True

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

best regards,
Jeff
