round(125, -1) produces 120 in Python 3.1.1. It produces 130.0 in 2.6.4. |

Note that round() is implemented much more carefully in Python 3.x than in Python 2.x, and 120 is actually the correct result under nearest/even rounding (125 is exactly halfway between representable values when rounded to the closest 10, and nearest/even rounding resolves the ambiguity by picking the closest value whose last relevant digit is even). |

All right, round() in 3.1 uses 'Round half to even' instead of 'Round half up'. In fact, now I can see this clearly explained in 3.1 documentation. Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the erroneous bug entry! |
