As well as the solutions Geofram has given, you can change the behaviour of addition like this: In [2]: from __future__ import division In [3]: 14105/1024 Out[3]: 13.7744140625 Then the old-style integer division is done with //: In [4]: 14105//1024 Out[4]: 13 More info here: http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/whatsnew/node7.html Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
