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).
