In cpython/Modules/_math.c there is definition of as const ln2
the value that in that const isn't correct (at least not accurate)

This is value that in the file:

ln2 = 0.693147180559945286227 (cpython)

but when calculating the value in wolframalpha, this is the value we get.
ln2 = 0.6931471805599453094172321214581 (wolframalpha)

and this is the value from Wikipedia
ln2 = 0.693147180559945309417232121458 (wikipedia)

also this is the thread in stackoverflow regarding this issue
