Floating point arithmetic is inherently imprecise. This is not a Python problem. If you want to print it to only three digits, then use something like:: >>> '%.3f' % 2.995423333545555 '2.995' -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis Whoever contends with the great sheds his own blood. -- Sa'di -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
