title: Dividing two int variables in python
body: <p>I am learning python and here is a piece of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>x = raw_input('Enter a numerator:')
  y = raw_input('Enter a denominator:')
  print x / y
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    line 3, in &lt;module&gt;
      print x / y
  TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'
  </code></pre>
