working of round()

Does round() always perfectly return the output expected or are there some artifacts which don't allow perfect functionality Using python 2.5: >>> round(12.234, 2) 12.23 >>> round(12.234, 3) 12.234 >>> round(12.234, 1) 12.199 >>> but was expecting 12.2 Also, for round(x,n), can't 'x'
