In Python 2, the '/' operator performs integer division by default when both its operands are integers. To change this, either place this at the top of the file: from __future__ import division or convert your numbers to floats: >>> 20.0 / 8.0 2.5 >>> float(20) / float(8) 2.5 In Python 3, the '/' operator always performs true division. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
