[Tutor] How can I let the Python Console display more decimal precision?

[Lukas Nemec]

Hi,

from the question you're using python 2.x
you can do either: 26.0/12 (float divide by int - it retypes both to 
floats and gets you 2.3333)
or at the beginning do:

from __future__ import division

That will activate python3 way of dividing - which gives you 2.3333
