This is not a bug (though it's commonly reported as such :-) ). Given that not all real numbers can be represented as floats, math.pi is necessarily an approximation to true Pi, and you're printing that approximation out to high precision. No, pi isn't computed in Python; it's a constant, stored as an IEEE 754 double.
