Try d // 2 ? It may be that v2.6 considers / as __truediv__ and not __div__. I can reproduce this behaviour on 2.4: daffodil:~ arno$ python2.4 Python 2.4.3 (#1, Oct 20 2006, 12:58:47) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5247)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from __future__ import division >>> import datetime >>> d = datetime.timedelta(1) >>> d/2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
