Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: FWIW, what you're seeing is related to "representation error" not "poor precision". The numbers 2.3, 6.3, and 8.6 cannot be exactly represented in binary floating point. When you think about it, this is no more surprising than knowing the fractions 1/3 and 2/3 cannot be exactly represented in either decimal or binary floating point.
