Which 'this'? That is, what were you expecting? If you're objecting to the fact that the second result produces 3499.3499999999999 instead of 3499.35, then no, that's not a mistake; see http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-floating-point-calculations-so-inaccurate for more information. But I'm guessing that you're questioning the fact that a value that's apparently *less* than 3499.35 is rounded up to 3499.4, rather than down to 3499.3. ? Then yes, I'd agree that's less than ideal, though I don't consider it a particularly serious bug. It's been on my list of things to fix for a while. (See http://bugs.python.org/issue1869 ).
