Right; it's that part that convinces me that the problem is somewhere deep in _Py_dg_dtoa, in the guts of the float to string conversion, where a xxx999999... result is rounded up to xx(x+1)000000... incorrectly. And it seems at least possible that there's a compiler bug somewhere, since it's happened before. It's also possible that there's a bug in _Py_dg_dtoa; this seems fairly unlikely (but certainly not out of the question), since this bit is pretty much exactly David Gay's original code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
