Functions that take timestamp or timeout arguments now accept any real numbers, not only integers or floats, although this does not improve precision.

Nice, it works as expected: $ ./python
>>> import socket, fractions, decimal
>>> socket.setdefaulttimeout(fractions.Fraction(1, 5))
>>> socket.getdefaulttimeout()
0.2
>>> socket.setdefaulttimeout(decimal.Decimal('1.5'))
>>> socket.getdefaulttimeout()
1.5 |
