I've just checked and np.set_printoptions behaves as python's round:

 >>> round(16.055,2)
16.05
 >>> np.round(16.055,2)
16.06

I don't know why round and np.round do not behave the same, actually I 
would even dare to say that I don't care :-)
However np.round and np.set_printoptions should provide the same output, 
shouldn't they ? This discrepancy is really disturbing whereas 
consistency with python's round looks like the icing on the cake but in 
no way a required feature.
