Coercion works fine; the problem is that Float implements __div__ but not __truediv__. It works if you don't import division from __future__. If you do that, even Float / Float division ceases to work. That is definitely a bug, but not as bad a bug as not being able to coerce floats at all ;-) Fredrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
