Setting Brightness using integer duration doesn't work about rpi-backlight HOT 4 CLOSED

The behavior you describe is not always true. In Python 3 for example, 2/3 returns the expected 0.6666666666666666, and using a __future__ import we can achieve the same in Python 2:

>>> 2/3
0
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 2/3
0.6666666666666666
>>> 

So aac5208 will fix it. Thanks for reporting this, though!

BTW I would encourage everyone to finally give up using Python 2. IMHO it has too much annoying behavior and its final EOL in less than two and a half years: https://pythonclock.org/.

Alright it's on PyPI now. Please test and report back if it works for you!

Thanks. That did it. And I'll look at migrating this project to Python 3.x. '-)

I mostly do Kodi addons, and their internal python interpreter is 2.7.x, so I haven't really had a need to look at 3 much.

Glad I could help!
This may be off-topic, but I want to mention: folks need to hurry. Two years is not as much time, and as you've noticed, many popular software uses still Python 2 internally. I was not aware that Kodi is, but I know parts of Debian and its forks do. Luckily, Python has much less critical security issues than let's say PHP 😉
