[New-bugs-announce] [issue6354] Old floating point representation in 3.1 tutorial

[Pierre Bourdon]

New submission from Pierre Bourdon <root at delroth.is-a-geek.org>:

In part 3.1.1 of the Python 3.1 tutorial, the following code sample is
obsolete :

>>> 8/5 # Fractions aren't lost when dividing integers
1.6000000000000001


In a fresh Python 3.1, 8/5 is now displayed as 1.6. The note below the
code sample should be updated too.
