Bug report

Bug description:

When using the ** operator with a Fraction as a base and an object that implements __rpow__ as an exponent the fraction gets wrongfully casted into a float before being passed to __rpow__

from fractions import Fraction foo = Fraction(4, 3) class One: def __rpow__(self, other): return other bar = foo**One() print(bar) print(type(bar))

Expected Output

4/3 <class 'fractions.Fraction'> 

Actual Output:

1.3333333333333333 <class 'float'> 

Tested with Python 3.12.3
