Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def python-bindings.gnucash_core.GncNumeric.__init__	(		self,
			num = 0,
			denom = 1,
			kargs
	)

Constructor that allows you to set the numerator and denominator or
leave them blank with a default value of 0 (not a good idea since there
is currently no way to alter the value after instantiation)
