Use floats instead of integers:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 20/8
2
>>> 20.0/8
2.5


or use Python3:

Python 3.2a1 (r32a1:83318, Aug 13 2010, 22:32:03)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 20/8
2.5
>>> 20.0/8
2.5
