I don't see where you are actually using the decimal module here, am I missing something? It doesn't help that you cal the argument to your function 'decimal'. > dec = .345765988765560057657654654 Your Python interpreter probably doesn't have enough precision to represent this number directly. Here is what I get: In [1]: dec = .345765988765560057657654654 In [2]: dec Out[2]: 0.34576598876556008 Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
