George Boutsioukis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The issue is that the implementation of round includes multiplying the number by 10**ndigits, thus unnecessarily losing some precision for large numbers within the IEEE754 double limits. This means that even smaller numbers can produce these results for higher ndigit values, eg.
>>> round(56294995342131.5, 3) #one less digit 56294995342131.508 In the submitted patch I used modf to split the number and keep the integral intact. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +gboutsioukis Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10944/round_patch.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1869> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
