It's extremely unlikely that maya or python "couldn't process" a floating point and do basic multiplication. I, for instance, get:
>>> z = 9.01522412278e-07 >>> z * z 8.127426598395442e-13 >>> z ** 2 8.127426598395442e-13 ...which seems right. Take another look at what you're doing, and you'll likely find the mistake is on your end (or possibly a third party library's), not maya or python. If you're still not sure what you're doing wrong, post exactly what you're doing (ie, code), and maybe we can help.
