your doing integer division, and / gets you the number of times 200 is divisible by 400, which is 0 times in a integer context.
try 200.0/400 if you make one a float, you get a float answer. or this... >>> size = float(200), float(400) >>> size[0]/size[1] 0.5 I'm still quite a python/django noob, so there may be a way more pythonic way to approach this, but I figure I'm close enough to the point that you're hopefully not going to go nuts. :) cheers On Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 9:36 PM, Jarred Bishop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, this is driving me crazy.
