I assume this is because that number is so large that it loses precision, in which case this is more of a quirk of floating point than a quirk of Python.
It’s both. As you said it’s because of loss of floating point precision, but it’s also with some of the quirks how Python compares int with float. These two together causes this strange behavior.
