    werid python troubles...

    Hello,
    I am just having a little trouble getting python to work correctly. When I try to divide 10 by 3 I get 3 instead of 3.3333 or when I do 1/3 i get 0.
    Code:
    >>> 10/3
3
>>> 1/3
0
    Any ideas as to what is causing this and how i can fix it??

      You are seeing the results of integer division. Convert one of the numbers to float or import division from the __future__ module.
      Code:
      >>> 1/3
0
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 1/3
0.33333333333333331
>>> float(1)/3
0.33333333333333331
>>>
