Hi @xtreak,

I have just submitted a PR but where I explain the change with Python2/3 and 
the division operator.

Have a nice day,

This is a good first issue. Python 3 docs uses `{:.3f}".format(1.0/3.0)` that 
was changed as part of 04d8a245f162b33e6c861ba0869918d9262be63e. Python 2 docs 
could be changed too to use floats that makes the example correct.

Yep, this is incorrect in Python 2 unless `from __future__ import division` is 
imported at the beginning. Would you want to make a PR against the 2.7 branch 
to correct this?

[Pawel]

New submission from Pawel :

In this question:
https://docs.python.org/2.7/faq/programming.html#how-do-i-convert-a-number-to-a-string

There is a statement:
"{:.3f}".format(1/3) yields '0.333'

While

In [2]: "{:.3f}".format(1/3)
Out[2]: '0.000'

In [3]: "{:.3f}".format(1/3.0)
Out[3]: '0.333'
