Python replacement for PHP's bcdiv [ edit | history ]
In python, the slash is the division operator.
As per example: 
print 105 / 6.55957
# if you want to do real (non-truncating) division, you must make sure one of the operands is a float in Python 2.x
# the number of decimal digits is as many as supported by float

If you want to take strings, like bcdiv() in PHP: 
print int('105') / float('6.55957')
