All you are seeing is the string representation repr(). In 1.5.2, repr()
gave the same result as str() - two places of decimal precision. In 2.0+ it
does the "right" thing. str() still gives two places of decimal precision.

If you want to display a certain precision, you need to do it yourself.
round() will not change things ...

print repr(round(0.10000000000000001, 1))
