One of the features of Python3 will be that the division operator / will give a float result ( // is used for integer divisions as usual ). You can use this feature now by importing the __future__ module. Test it out with this example:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
# access Python3 features like / for float division
 
from __future__ import division
 
print "Enter a math statement like 355/113 or (2+3)/2 ..."
while True:
    result = input("Statement: ")
    print result
    if raw_input("Continue? (y, n)").lower() == 'n': break
# access Python3 features like / for float division

from __future__ import division

print "Enter a math statement like 355/113 or (2+3)/2 ..."
while True:
    result = input("Statement: ")
    print result
    if raw_input("Continue? (y, n)").lower() == 'n': break
