NB: If you are using python 3 safely ignore all of this.
Doing a calculation such as 2/5 and 3/2 on a typical calculator should yield 0.4 and 1.5 respectively, as python 3 does, however, in python 2 these calculations will return 0 and 1 respectively.
This is because python somehow seems to ignore the float component of the number (i.e. ignoring everything after the decimal point). This is a very well known problem.
Purpose
Correcting the fault of integer division in python 2 IDES when running code.
Approach
Import the division module from the future magic module i.e. (from future import division) at the top of each .py file. This is shown in the template below.
