Sorry, over paranoid. ;-)

num = num + math.pi/6.0 ## Don't forget .0 or you'll get an integer
the division operator returns a float when either of the operands are
floats -- in this case math.pi is, so you don't have to worry about
passing it 6.0 instead of 6
import math
math.pi
3.1415926535897931
math.pi / 6
0.52359877559829882
type(math.pi)
<type 'float'>
type(6)
<type 'int'>
type(6.0)
<type 'float'>

This tutorial must be old.
Not the only way, but.
import math
num = 0
while num <= 2*math.pi:
## Do stuff to figure pi/6 things
num = num + math.pi/6.0 ## Don't forget .0 or you'll get an integer
result.
print ## Result thingy
Another way is to use Numarry (Numeric) arange() but that takes extra
work.
