I haven't seen any answers to the original question. It looks like Decimal is decided by 2.5 too: return a float from everything. Rational, being a completely new type, is up to you guys, but because new support for the conversion routines seems to be rare, it's probably best to have it return floats too.

Sorry, I didn't understand this parragraph.

Do you mean that the response in the following case is of type "float"?:

round(decimal.Decimal("2.5")) 3.0
