PYTHON - input decimal to fraction

When working on python, I was able to convert a fraction to a decimal where the user would input a numerator, then a denominator and then the n/d = the result (fairly simple). But i can't work out how to convert a decimal into a fraction. I want the user to input any decimal ( ie 0.5) and then find the simplest form of x (1/2). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Use the fractions module.

from fractions import Fraction

f1 = Fraction(14, 8)
print(f)           # Output: 7/4
print(float(f))    # Output: 1.75

f1 = Fraction(1.75)
print(f)           # Output: 7/4
print(float(f))    # Output: 1.75

It accepts both pairs of numerator/denominator as well as float decimal numbers to construct a Fraction object.
