There isn't a fix for this because it's not a bug. You column is a int
and python is giving you a int. The correct 1:1 conversion is
float(touring) / 10

Just found another case which requires special attention:

Given a feature with myInt=5

Old API:
> feat['myInt'].toFloat() / 10
> 0.5

New API:
> feat['myInt'] / 10
> 0

Better:
> float( feat['myInt'] ) / 10
> 0.5

Or:
> feat['myInt'] / 10.0
> 0.5

I guess that's not something we can fix in a generic way, but something
to keep in mind when updating a plugin.
