Indicates that 'a' was an int that was implicitly casted to a float.
Remember Python is dynamically typed. Values have types, but variables
don't (I could do a =
yes
you can also try:
float(a)/b
0.1

This does not implicitly do the casting, it treats 'a'

I am building Python 2.6.4 on a shared server and am encountering test
failures in test_hashlib.py and test_hmac.py, specifically concerning
sha512. I recompiled Python with --with-pydebug and CLFAGS=CPPFLAGS=-
g and ran the tests in GDB and got the following results:

This does not implicitly do the casting, it treats 'a' and 'b' as
integers, and the result as well. Changing 'b' to 3.0 will yield a float
as a result (0.1)
This is design flaw in older

To be precise, Python created a *new* float from the int, leaving the
original int alone. Because ints and floats are objects, if Python
