I don't think that a raise of 0.10000000000000001 (10%), 0.035000000000000003 (3.5%) or 0.070000000000000007 (7%) is quite what people intended. :-) (Don't use binary floating point numbers for anything related to money. Just don't.) -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
