This is due to how floating point numbers are handled under the hood. See http://effbot.org/pyfaq/why-are-floating-point-calculations-so-inaccurate.htm and https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html for some useful read about why Python behaves like this regarding floating point numbers. Both these link state that this isn't a bug in Python, rightly so as it isn't.
