This round thing is killing me..
There's a problem with the built-in
round()function on Python 3.5.If one passes
Noneas a second argument, and the first argument is a float, everything is okBut if the first argument is an integer and you pass None as second argument, it raises:
Now, this happens to be a known issue (https://bugs.python.org/issue27936) which has been fixed in Python 3.6.
Here, on Python3 below 3.6, I have to wrap the built-in round() so that when it gets None as second argument, it behaves as if one did not provide the second argument at all.
