When you're naming the variable, and you know it will be using real numbers, put a # behind the name. i.e number#

This code for example should return a real value:

value#=2.5+0.6
print value#

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

Try this:

input# = 2.4
output# = input# + 4.0
print output#

This should give a vlue of 6.4; the only thing I can think of that you're doing wrong is not putting a '.0' after integers used for floating-point calculations.

If this doesn't help, try posting your source-code, so we can have a look and point out any mistakes you might have made.
