Integer division in Python 2 and Python 3

How can I divide two numbers in Python 2.7 and get the result with decimals? I don't get it why there is difference: in Python 3: >>> 20/15 1.3333333333333333 in Python 2: >>> 20/15 1 Isn't this a modulo actually?
In Python 2.7, the / operator is integer division if inputs are integers. If you want float division (which is something I always prefer), just use this special import: from __future__ import division See it here: >>> 7 / 2 3 >>> from __future__ import division >>> 7 / 2 3.5 >>> Integer division is achieved by using //, and modulo by using %: >>> 7 % 2 1 >>> 7 // 2 3 >>> As commented by user2357112, this import has to be done before any other normal import.
