In this question: https://docs.python.org/2.7/faq/programming.html#how-do-i-convert-a-number-to-a-string There is a statement: "{:.3f}".format(1/3) yields '0.333' While In [2]: "{:.3f}".format(1/3) Out[2]: '0.000' In [3]: "{:.3f}".format(1/3.0) Out[3]: '0.333' |

Yep, this is incorrect in Python 2 unless `from __future__ import division` is imported at the beginning. Would you want to make a PR against the 2.7 branch to correct this? |

This is a good first issue. Python 3 docs uses `{:.3f}".format(1.0/3.0)` that was changed as part of 04d8a245f162b33e6c861ba0869918d9262be63e. Python 2 docs could be changed too to use floats that makes the example correct.

Hi @xtreak, I have just submitted a PR but where I explain the change with Python2/3 and the division operator. Have a nice day, |
