I apologize for the adverse impact there. I will be more careful.

Yes, 0.0015 would be 3/2000. However, in my example "0.0015" is the right
endpoint of [0.0005, 0.0015), not the value "0.001" that we are seeking the
fraction for.

You have more experience with this than I. I defer to you.

Drat. I gave the code example in order to make that clear. I guess we can
continue to discuss this at "python-ideas". My quick web search for that turns
up a lot of things. If you could give me a lead -- is there a web URL for
that, is it an e-mail list, etc.?
Thank you all for your valuable comments.
