Using IDLE 3.2a4
Apologies in advance for probably wasting your time. If I'm wrong, just ignore me. I'm very new to Python. Is this a bug, my processor or me? I'm sending this in as I see it's an alpha release.

If the user supplies 100 as the answer, I would have expected a result of 115 for a 15% tip. I get 114.999999999.
