[Zope] Going CRAZY from division

[Chris McDonough]

Integer division in Python is "floor division" with respect to the
operands both being ints (dividing two ints results in an int).

Python does "true division" when either operand is a float.  You should
change one or the other or both of "clicks" or "views" to a float to get
a float back.
