Could anyone explain me this pice of code:
>>> round(0.45, 1)
0.5
>>> round(1.45, 1)
1.4
>>> round(2.45, 1)
2.5
>>> round(3.45, 1)
3.5
>>> round(4.45, 1)
4.5
>>> round(5.45, 1)
5.5
>>> round(6.45, 1)
6.5
>>> round(7.45, 1)
7.5
>>> round(8.45, 1)
8.4
>>> round(9.45, 1)
9.4

I guess it is because of floating representation. Am I right?
You are right. None of the numbers can be represented exactly. In some cases the fractional part is strictly greater than 0.45
and in some it is strictly less:
In [4]: ['%.20f' % val for val in (0.45, 1.45, 2.45, 3.45, 4.45, 5.45, 6.45, 7.45, 8.45, 9.45)]
Out[4]:
['0.45000000000000001110','1.44999999999999995559','2.45000000000000017764','3.45000000000000017764','4.45000000000000017764','5.45000000000000017764','6.45000000000000017764','7.45000000000000017764','8.44999999999999928946','9.44999999999999928946']
This explains the seemingly inconsistent rounding.
