How do you divide each element in a list by an int?

The way you tried first is actually directly possible with numpy:

import numpy
myArray = numpy.array([10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90])
myInt = 10
newArray = myArray/myInt

If you do such operations with long lists and especially in any sort of scientific computing project, I would really advise using numpy.

The idiomatic way would be to use list comprehension:

myList = [10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90]
myInt = 10
newList = [x / myInt for x in myList]

or, if you need to maintain the reference to the original list:

myList[:] = [x / myInt for x in myList]
