Steven D'Aprano added the comment: To be clear, let's look at the first failed assertion:
AssertionError: 32.78 != 32.775 within 2 places It sure *looks* like 32.775 ought to round to 32.78. And indeed it would, if it actually was 32.775. But despite appearances, it isn't. Sure, the number prints as 32.775, but that's a recent feature (and a mixed blessing at that). That's a side-effect of a clever (perhaps too clever) change to the way floats are printed, to prefer neat, friendly numbers over accuracy. Before Python 2.7, the exact same float would have been printed as 32.774999999999999, and now its obvious why it rounds down to 32.77 rather than up to 32.78: 32.774999999999999 is *less* than 32.775. To be precise, printing the old way: 32.774999999999999 rounds down to 32.770000000000003 rather than up to 32.780000000000001, exactly as promised. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28535> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
