If you want division to be floating point. If, like me, you rarely do floating point division and want the "/" to mean integer division as God intended, then you don't put from __future__ import division in your source files. That's one of the good things about Python, you can have it either way. > > Cheers, > - Joe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
