This isn't a bug. It's due to the base 2 representation of floating point numbers. See for example: See https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html It's possible, depending on your use case, you might want to use the decimal module. But that has it's own issues that you should be aware of. For example, 1/7 is not exactly representable in either floats or Decimals. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42148> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
