Why does thsi library not support arbitrary FPS/Framerate?

I am impressed with the library, it appears to be a very thorough effort.
But I cant understand why you limited it to a few framerates tough. There is not even support for 12 fps.
I am a traditional animator. And I am looking for a means to calculate potential animations for planning reasons as well as for variety of other reasons, such as matching 2D animations against live footage/3D etc. This often means I am working with 12 or 24.
When I say arbitrary framerates, This site, Frames to Timecode Calculator, lets you input any framerate and frame count to get a Timecode.
Perhaps this is to do the with Drop-Frame format, if so then can we not just get support for NDF Timecodes to have arbitrary framerates?
I'm not the original designer, and yes we can do it, we can at least add 12 FPS so that your need is mitigated.
I see. Well, I am very glad to hear that your open to having 12 FPS in the future. I look forward to it for sure. Thank you.
Ah now I see, I've been away from this project for a while and really forgot the details about the inner workings, so I didn't realize in the first place, but we already have arbitrary frame rates support:
>>> from timecode import Timecode
>>> tc1 = Timecode(12)
>>> tc1.framerate
'12'
>>> tc2 = Timecode("12")
>>> tc1 == tc2
TrueSo I'm closing this issue.
@eoyilmaz hmm interesting. I remember trying something similar and getting errors. I will have to double check then. Thank you for this.
