Description
The Ring class in sas/sascalc/dataloader/manipulations.py allows for determining intensity as a function of angle on a 2D detector. The current implementation, however, doesn't account for fractional pixels. The counts are all allocated to an infinitesimal point in the center of the pixel which is either completely inside or outside the region of interest. Allowing for fractional pixels would remove aliasing from this calculation.

Looking over the existing code, the previous author intended to handle fractional pixels, since there is a frac variable which does correctly handle the presence of these fractional pixels. However, the variable itself is only ever set to zero or one. So all we really need to do at this point is calculate frac.
As a side note, this might also be a good time for a refactoring of this code to move more of the calculation into numpy. It's currently occuring in a giant python for loop, but there's nothing preventing it from being vectorised.
