Hi,
I am new to python. I was messing around in the interperator checking
out the floating point handling and I believe I may have found a
rounding bug:
234 - 23234.2345
-23000.234499999999
This is not correct by my calculations.
I am using python 2.5.2 in ubuntu 8.04. I am wondering if this is a
known bug, or if I am just not understanding some feature of python.
Thanks for the help!

If you need to round before you display the result, I find the following
works:
>>> '%.4f' % (234 - 23234.2345)
'-23000.2345'
The %.4f means that the interpolated value will be treated as a float,
rounded to 4 digits after the decimal point.
