You assign s as an integer... it should be a float to get the right result...<br><br>So either define s as <br><br>s = 14105.0<br><br>or as<br><br>s = float(14105)<br><br>it'll then result in the right answer :<br><br>
In [17]: s=14105.0<br>In [18]: s/1024<br>Out[18]: 13.7744140625<br><br>In [19]: s = float(14105)<br>In [20]: s/1024<br>Out[20]: 13.7744140625<br><br>HTH - Geofram<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/18/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
