thanks! I can't say I even remember why I have this gist...

It comes up rather high on a Google search for 'python round up to the nearest multiple', so I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to trip people up. 😃

This is a good one. What about the equivalent of MROUND function in excel in which case round_to_nearest(20.46, 0.05) should be 20.45 instead of 20.50 and round_to_nearest(20.48, 0.05) should be 20.50 ?
