I am fairly certain this is a bug, but I wanted to ask here before reporting it on trac. I understand that when we enter something in sage, like
sage: 5/3
5/3
We want to receive 5/3 instead of the normal python output:
>>> 5/3
1.6666666666666667
However, eval in sage seems to be rounding down:
sage: eval('5/3')
1
Where I would expect it to return 5/3 again, or at the very least 1.6666666666666667 (if eval ran through python first and had already returned 1.6666666666666667). The standard eval in python does return 1.6666666666666667.
