This is definitely not well-covered ground, I can think of absolutely no =

reason why math behaviour would be different under the raw interpreter th=
an =

under the IDE.

If this behaviour is easy to reproduce, could you send me a script that s=
hows =

it?

Oh yes: you are indeed dropping your script on the PythonInterpreter, you=
're =

not running it with the commandline python interpreter? (Because that is =
a =

completely different beast inside than the IDE, so there I could well ima=
gine =

differrent behaviour for math boundary cases).
