Python 2's division operator's default behavior is to do integer
division whenever all of its operands are integers/long and do float
division if any of them are float/decimal, in Python 3, this is going
to be changed so that division would always be float division and
while integer division would have its own operator "//".

You can change the default behavior of Python 2 by importing division
behavior from __future__ module (from __future__ import division), or
you could convert one of the operands to float ("float(a) / b" or "a /
float(b)").
