In python, no, that syntax is incorrect. But you could use 100.0 instead of 100. Almost as readable. Or add an intermediate method that casts to float. Could that feature be added to jcc ? sure, but it gets complicated fast. If you control both ends of the app (the python and the java code), it's easiest to add an int overload to the shift method and call the float version.
