As marketdickinson explains, this is not a bug - at least the line you consider "wrong" does not show a bug. 74.425 is indeed smaller than 74+425/1000, so it's correct that rounding rounds down. As for documentation, please take a look at http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-floating-point-calculations-so-inaccurate Closing as invalid.
