No, don't feel bad about it: integer division is a bad "gotcha!" in
Python. Integer division is known to be suprising, and it'll eventually
be replaced by true division in Python 3:

Yes, that is the wordt defect of Python: its inability to read
programmer mind and detect the rteal programmer intentions.

Thanks at lot. Something as simple as that...

You assign s as an integer... it should be a float to get the right
r
Or actually an even easier way is to just to divide bij a float and the end
result will also be a float.
So in your case divide bij 1024.0 ;-)
In [21]: s=14105
In [22]: s/1024.0
Out[22]: 13.7744140625

You assign s as an integer... it should be a float to get the right
result...
So either define s as
s = 14105.0
or as
s = float(14105)
it'll then result in the right answer :
In [17]: s=14105.0
In [18]: s/1024
Out[18]: 13.7744140625
In [19]: s = float(14105)
In [20]: s/1024
Out[20]: 13.7744
Hi all,
In my script I want to convert 14105 bytes to kilobytes and and this is what
I do:
>>> s = 14105
>>> print '%0.2f' % (s/1024)
13.00
This not correct and I don't know why. The answer is 13.77.
Any pointers please that would help my in the right direction?
Thanks
Johan
