You assign s as an integer... it should be a float to get the right
result...

So either define s as 

s = 14105.0

or as

s = float(14105)

it'll then result in the right answer :

In [17]: s=14105.0
In [18]: s/1024
Out[18]: 13.7744140625

In [19]: s = float(14105)
In [20]: s/1024
Out[20]: 13.7744140625

Hi all,
 
In my script I want to convert 14105 bytes to kilobytes and and this is what
I do:
 
>>> s = 14105
>>> print '%0.2f' % (s/1024)
13.00 
 
This not correct and I don't know why. The answer is 13.77.
 
Any pointers please that would help my in the right direction?
 
Thanks
 
Johan
