how to convert an integer to a float?

[Subscriber123]

How did the new division ever get approved?! That's not pythonic! What if
you then need to divide two integers and find an element in a list or dict?
It will give you an error! I know that at the moment it is not implemented
unless imported from __future__, but I expect that it eventually might be.
That would be a problem with backwards compatibility.
