I upgraded from version 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 to try to resolve the issue and 
restarted my computer but it is still occurring. Some numbers are 
working (1.2, 1.4) and some others are also not working (1.128).

Neither installed 64 bit 3.6.2 nor my repository 3.6 32-bit debug build 
reproduce this.  If anyone has the python.org 32bit 3.6.1/2 releases 
installed on Windows, please test and report.
