Aren't you worried about using the non-special non-reserved attributes like "as_integer_ratio"? That's the reason why I proposed a dunder name "__ratio__" instead of "as_integer_ratio". In my opinion, it was a mistake in PEP 3141 to use non-reserved names like "numerator" and "denominator" because they might already be used by existing classes with a different meaning (this is precisely what happened with SageMath). It's an honest question. If you say, "we thought about it and think it's just fine to use as_integer_ratio()", just say so and that's fine for me.
