def float_to_exact_number_stored_in_computer(f):
   """
   Given a float, return the exact number stored in computer.

   See
http://docs.python.org/3.1/tutorial/floatingpoint.html#representation-error
   """
   from decimal import Decimal
   return Decimal.from_float(f)

I've just borrowed from the doc, but that name is too long, isn't it? Please
suggest something shorter but still meaningful.

Thanks,

Dick Moores
