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 HTH - Geofram On 1/18/07, Geoframer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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]: 13.7744140625 HTH - Geofram On 1/18/07, Johan Geldenhuys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
