Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment:

I think Serhiy has already explained that 43**10 is too large
to be represented exactly in 53-bit floating point arithmetic.

The math module wraps the floating point functions from the
C standard:

"It provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C standard."

"Except when explicitly noted otherwise, all return values are floats."


So there's no bug, and the documentation looks fine to me, too.
