To the contrary - it's not considered a bug at all. Python didn't make any promises about "unregular" floating point values, so things like that just may happen. The fix that made Python offer stronger guarantees in 2.5 cannot be ported back to 2.4, since it would break the marshal format of that release. Finally, it's not very likely that *any* additional 2.4.x releases are made at all; only 2.5.x is still actively maintained. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
