I've started to learn programming Python (also i'm a beginner) and my code's print result was "0". Could someone explain why?

I mean, on my calculator hardware it results on something like "0.5555552", this has anything to do with the Python Interpreter's code?

What kind of program do you use to code/run the python script in?

This may be so hopelessly late as to be useless, but it could be that you're using Python version 2.2 to 2.7 where the division operation on integers is different
