Numbers don't add up to 0

[rhuitl]

Try this: -5.2325873374938965+5.23258733749390
Result is: 3.5527, obviously it should be 0

Python returns:

-5.2325873374938965+5.23258733749390
3.552713678800501e-15

Line 131 in mathevaluator.py is flawed, it just truncates which is a bad idea. It should rather leave it alone or format the number using "%.4f" % float(evaluated).

Thanks, I'll fix this tonight.
