In short: 

>>> long(100 * 146.95)
14694L

This is NOT a bug, but a behaviour of binary floating point:

>>> 146.95
146.94999999999999

In binary you can not express this number exactly.

>>> 146.95 * 100
14694.999999999998

When you long() that, you truncate the number, so it goes to 14694.

Please address further discussion through python-list.

Thanks!
