Use Python3

Subject: Precision Tail-off?
*** Attention: This is an external email. Use caution responding, opening attachments or clicking on links. ***

Hi,

I have just produced the following log in IDLE (admittedly, in Python
2.7.10 and, yes I know that it has been superseded).

It appears to show a precision tail-off as the supplied float gets bigger.

I have two questions:
1. Is there a straightforward explanation for this or is it a bug?
2. Is the same behaviour exhibited in Python 3.x?

For your information, the first 20 significant figures of the cube root in
question are:
49793385921817447440
