Never use float for representing numbers, use float to represent a "magnitude", do not rely on the exact representation of the number itself. If you need to control the representation of your number, either keep the number as integers or string or use fixed-point arithmetic (Decimal), depending on your use case. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
