That's because the 1/4 is executed first, and the problem mentioned 
still applies (i.e. you get a 0, then add it to 0.1).

The best fix for you might be simply to place this line at the start 
(before all other code) of your module:

from __future__ import division

That will change the way simple division works to give you the results 
you expected.  See the online docs for more background on this.
