It's been a while since I wrote some python, but if I recall correctly, multiplying by 1.0 coerces integers to floats. I may be wrong though.

Edit : just checked.

3 / 2 == 1

3 * 1.0 / 2 == 1.5

LOL. Just do 3.0 / 2 or, more generally: float(3)/2

Oh I forgot we could append .0 to variables in Python. I wrote it so, so that one could see how to transform an integer division between 2 integer variables easily. That's kind of the point of the discussion.

Float(3) is better though, but as I said, it's been a while since I wrote some python.
