This isn't a bug. It's due to the base 2 representation of floating point numbers. See for example: See https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html

It's possible, depending on your use case, you might want to use the decimal module. But that has it's own issues that you should be aware of. For example, 1/7 is not exactly representable in either floats or Decimals.
