New submission from travelgirl:
http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html states, as an example, round(_, 2)
should round to the second decimal place. makes sense. when i
attempted it with different numbers, round() returned what looks like a
binary-coded decimal error (see the jpg enclosed), and
travelgirl added the comment:
interesting, and expected as the BCD calculation. however, the round function
should be able to handle that correctly, dealing with the number in a string
fashion as opposed a mathematical one, to display the requested decimal places.
slower, to be sure, but
