You can always "monkey-path" the Fraction class on the fly to add a new 
method to it.  I think most would consider this a bad idea, but it does 
work.
Try this:

 >>> from fractions import Fraction
 >>> def is_integer(self):
...     return self.numerator % self.denominator == 0
...
 >>> Fraction.is_integer = is_integer # Monkey-patch Fraction
 >>>
 >>> Fraction(1,2).is_integer()
False
 >>> Fraction(2,1).is_integer()
True
