Sorry; this is just the way that (binary) floating-point works. See http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/floatingpoint.html for more (or Google 'binary floating point' for a host of references). If you're doing financial calculations, you may want to look into the decimal module: http://docs.python.org/2/library/decimal.html
