New submission from Blair <[email protected]>:
I believe that the use of __future__.division may have unintended consequences
with user types that define division.
The following fails:
from __future__ import division
class NumericType(object):
def __init__(self,x):
self.x = x
def __div__(self,rhs):
return self.x/rhs
print NumericType(3.0) / 2.0
with the error message
File "C:\proj_py\learning\future_bug\future.py", line 10, in <module>
print NumericType(3.0) / 2.0
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'NumericType' and 'float'
Remove the line `from __future__ import division` and everything works fine.
I am using Python 2.7.2
