The float.as_integer_ratio method needs to be documented somewhere other than whatsnew/2.6.rst.

I tried to include the method in the Python 3.0 Tutorial but also to mention problems with floating point arithmetic that express in returning different numbers than what one entered.

While writing docs for as_integer_ratio(), I noticed a few typos in the docstrings of the new float methods. Patch attached.

The attached patch documents the as_integer_ratio method; I'll commit it once Barry allows commits.

Patch committed in rev. 66435. Do we want to mention it in the tutorial? If not, this issue could now be closed.

Should I backport the tutorial patch to the 2.6 tutorial?

Would be nice, yes.
