Make sure there is at least one float in your equation. In your example Python is doing interger math for you and returing the floor. You need to give it a hint that you would like to do floating point math. >>> sum = 1.0/4 >>> print sum 0.25 >>> sum = 1/4.0 >>> print sum 0.25 >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
