Guess that's what you get for calling yourself "brainy_muppet
If your still worried by using floats for your values you may wish to
look into the decimal module:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-decimal.html
Example:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal(2) + Decimal('1.47')
Decimal("3.47")

That's for the same reasons as you can't write 1/3rd in decimal
notation. Computers can't write 1/10th in binary notation.

Duncan was right of course. It returns 0.

Your system seems to be really screwed. int(0.965) should be 0, and
float(0.965) should be 0.96

It certainoly does _not_ return 1.0 - it returns 1. And that is all it can
return for being an integer that has by definition no fractional
