Using the ceil() function more advanced

I am aware of what the ceil function does, it rounds numbers up. So; 1.3 to 2.0 and 5.9 to 6.0. But I want it to round up with steps of 0.5. So; 1.3 to 1.5 and 5.9 to 6.0. Is this possible? Thanks!!!

Python: math.ceil trouble

Here is the issue: >>> 16/float(1184000) returns: 1.3513513513513513e-05 if I try to run math.ceil on this number, i get "1" instead of "2" >>>math.ceil(16/float(1184000)) returns: 1.0 This seems odd, any ideas how to address this?
