travelgirl added the comment: interesting, and expected as the BCD calculation. however, the round function should be able to handle that correctly, dealing with the number in a string fashion as opposed a mathematical one, to display the requested decimal places. slower, to be sure, but hella accurate.
that's what the bug was about. i understand the issues with BCD. i don't understand how a function to display a number can get the display so wrong, even when the BCD number itself "fails" to the 15th place. round to 2 places, you should still display 14.78, not 14.7799999999999999x just my take. thanks for getting back to me. 00 caren http://www.parkgallery.org george davis creek, north fork __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1559> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
