I get two different values: -1.90734863281e-06 -2.14576721191e-06 on this hardware (faster than the PC I'm using right now, but still not a very fast machine). let's check a faster linux box: $ python2.4 test.py -6.91413879395e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 -2.14576721191e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 -2.14576721191e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 -1.90734863281e-06 if I keep running the script over and over again, I do get individual -1.19209289551e-06 items from time to time on both machines... </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
