The document (http://docs.python.org/3/library/fractions.html) doesn't mention Fraction's numerator and denominator properties, I knew these properties from dir(). Since sometimes these two properties are very useful, for example: http://projecteuler.net/problem=33 and http://projecteuler.net/problem=57 , I think document should mention them. Thanks.

The docs page does mention, however, that Fraction inherits from numbers.Rational, and links to that page (http://docs.python.org/2/library/numbers.html#numbers.Rational). There the properties 'numerator' and 'denominator' are clearly documented. Perhaps its still worth it to mention those properties on the Fraction docs page though, or to include them in one of the examples.

How does this simple patch sound?

Simple and to the point. Sounds good to me...
