In Python 3.0, help(round) gives the following:

round(...)
    round(number[, ndigits]) -> floating point number
    
    Round a number to a given precision in decimal digits (default 0 
digits).
    This returns an int when called with one argument, otherwise a 
float.
    Precision may be negative.

But in Python 3.x, round(x, n) doesn't always return a float;  for 
example, if x is a Decimal or Fraction then round(x, 2) is again a 
Decimal or Fraction (respectively).
