Note the following:: $ python Python 1.5.2 (#1, Feb 1 2000, 16:32:16) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 1... Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam

3/2 1 3.0/2 1.5

Python performs integer division when handed integer arguments; you need:: <dtml-var "3.0/2" fmt="%.2d"> <dtml-var "_.float( x )/2" fmt="%.2d"> or equivalent.
