"Python 3 adopted the now standard way of rounding decimals when it results in a tie (.5) at the last significant digits. Now, in Python 3, decimals are rounded to the next even number. Although it's an inconvenience for code portability, it's supposedly a better way of rounding compared to rounding up as it avoids the bias towards large numbers. For more information, see the excellent Wikipedia articles and paragraphs:\n", "Python 3 adopted the now standard way of rounding decimals when it results in a tie (.5) at the last significant digits.
