title: Python Variable Division
body: <p>I've been making a Python program where I suppose it counts how many seconds it takes for Python 2 to make 100 cycles, and I've decided to at the end convert this to Hz. This requires me to change the second count to 1, which I've decided is easiest by dividing by itself. Note time equates to end - start:</p>
  
  <pre><code>time / time
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Pretty simple.
  Problem is, this doesn't seem to work: the time variable remains the same. I've tried using two slashes, putting 'float' in front and surrounding the two variables, and I have from <strong>future</strong> import division in, but none seem to work. Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Oisin</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: The time variable is not an integer, and I'd rather not have it truncated. If it will be with your solution, tell me anyway, I'm thankful for any help.</p>
