Initial Comment:
Why (1.16 * 100) is not the same than (1.16 * 10 * 10)?



I tried 1.16*100. also and it is = 115.99999999; but if I 

do 1.16*10*10 I get 116.



Thanks....

The answer to your question can be found in the Python 

tutorial, and has nothing to do with regular expressions:

Please don't use the bug tracker to ask for help in the 

future; I suggest asking on comp.lang.python (for other 

help forums, see www.python.org).
