We've had this discussion here one or two days ago... The usual answer is: please read "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating Point Arithmetic", at: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.22.6768 and check the answers posted these last days. In brief: you're working with floating point numbers, not reals (i.e., real "reals"). That's life. Deal with it, or move to specialized packages, like decimal. -- Alain. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
