title: Python: eval() that coerces values to floating point?
body: <p>Is there a way to execute an <code>eval</code>-like function that coerces its values to floating point?  I am hoping to</p>
  
  <pre><code>eval('1/3')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and have it return the floating point value .333333 rather than the integer value 0.</p>
