Apparently the docs have changed since 2.7: https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/floatingpoint.html However, the documentation still "sort of" mentions repr() as the most accurate form which isn't entirely correct since it nowadays is identical to str() for floats. No big deal, I just thought I was doing something wrong :-) related: http://bugs.python.org/issue26229
