R. David Murray added the comment:

Perhaps Serhiy meant to direct your attention to the "note" in the round docs.  
Floating point is tricky.

In Python3 the round is actually "half to even".  I'm not sure what the 
rounding algorithm is for %f, but I have a suspicion it might be half to even.  
I suppose that it ought to be documented.

Note that this applies equally to regular string formatting, it's not something 
special about the locale module.
