Hello everybody,
I hope somebody could help me with this problem. If this is not the right place to ask, please direct me to the right place and apologies.
I am using Python 2.7 and I am writing some code I want to work on 3.x as well. The problem can be reproduced with this code:
# from __future__ import division
class Number(object):
def __init__(self,number):
self.number=number
def __rdiv__(self,other):
return other/self.number
print 10/Number(5)
It prints 2 as I expect. But if I uncomment the first line, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
print 10/Number(5)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'int' and 'Number'
Is this a bug or the __future__ division in 3.x changed the way operators are overloaded? Where can I read more?
Massimo
