In Python 2, the '/' operator performs integer division by default
when both its operands are integers.  To change this, either place
this at the top of the file:

from __future__ import division

or convert your numbers to floats:

>>> 20.0 / 8.0
2.5
>>> float(20) / float(8)
2.5

In Python 3, the '/' operator always performs true division.
