Make sure that you are using Python 3, not Python 2 or use at least one float operand: # Python 3 >>> 2/5 0.4 # Python 2 and 3 >>> 2.0 / 5 0.4 You can get the old default behaviour with the // operator: # Python 3 (and Python 2) >>> 2//5 0 >>> 7//2 3 If for some reason you cannot switch to Python 3 you can add the line from __future__ import division at the top of your script or module. Then: $ python Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 13 2018, 12:45:42) [GCC 4.8.4] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from __future__ import division >>> 2 / 5 0.4 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
