It seems to be rounding automatically and I don't know how to turn it off. Thanks!

I'm writing code in inline script in open sesame, though the same thing happens in PyCharm. It doesn't happen in other editors though.

Integer division. Try `2/5.0` – Psi Mar 25 '17 at 19:44
Integer math. `2.0/5` or `float(2)/5` – Elliott Frisch Mar 25 '17 at 19:44
I think it would be useful to mention this is python 2.x. And then switch to python 3! – tdelaney Mar 25 '17 at 20:17
