> Is there a way I can keep my floating point number as I typed it? For > example, I want 34.52 to be 34.52 and NOT 34.5200000002. This isn't a Python issue. Python uses IEEE 754 [1] double precision floats like most other languages. 34.52 can't be stored in a float. The next valid float is 34.5200000002. Christian [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754
