What makes you believe that?

    >>> from decimal import Decimal as d, ROUND_HALF_UP
    >>> (d('0.565') * 100).quantize(d(1), ROUND_HALF_UP) / 100
    Decimal('0.57')
    >>> (d('0.575') * 100).quantize(d(1), ROUND_HALF_UP) / 100
    Decimal('0.58')

Decimal also supports rounding directly, instead of doing arbitrary computations:

    >>> d('0.565').quantize(d('0.01'), ROUND_HALF_UP)
    Decimal('0.57')
    >>> d('0.575').quantize(d('0.01'), ROUND_HALF_UP)
    Decimal('0.58')
