[issue8049] Wrong calculation result

[dawton]

New submission from dawton <dawton at centrum.cz>:

I'm using Python 2.3 and today I found out, that Python gives following result:
>>> 2.05*60
122.99999999999999

while
>>> 2.05*10*6
123.0

Is there some explanation or is it a bug?
Thanks for answer!
