So either define s as s = 14105.0 or as s = float(14105) it'll then result in the right answer : In [17]: s=14105.0 In [18]: s/1024 Out[18]: 13.7744140625 In [19]: s = float(14105) In [20]: s/1024 Out[20]: 13.7744140625 HTH - Geofram On 1/18/07, Johan Geldenhuys <HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, In my script I want to convert 14105 bytes to kilobytes and and this is what I do: >>> s = 14105 >>> print '%0.2f' % (s/1024) 13.00 This not correct and I don't know why. The answer is 13.77. Any pointers please that would help my in the right direction? Thanks Johan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
