Import __future__

[tomschr]

Not sure if this helps, but importing future can be useful, especially if you want to omit casting with float() as seen in https://github.com/jnweiger/pdfcompare/blob/master/pdfcompare.py#L235

from __future__ import division

Here is an example:

# without importing divison from __future__:
>>> 1/2
0
>>> float(1)/2
0.5
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 1/2
0.5

Some float() casts remain, where FloatObjects need to perform math. (Especially those locations mentioned in https://github.com/jnweiger/pdfcompare/issues/5#issue-25096186 above. :unamused: ) Some int() casts added, where an integer division result is expected.
