https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/2.2.html#pep-238-changing-the-division-operator

Above documentation is not correct in this sentence:

Currently Python’s division operator, /, behaves like C’s division operator when presented with two integer arguments: it returns an integer result that’s truncated down when there would be a fractional part.

Even below in the same paragraph it says sth different.

In C/C++ result of integer division is truncated (ie. truncated toward zero). In python / operator when given integer operands performs floor division. Trunc operation is equal to ceil for negative numbers and floor for positive. It is not the same as floor for al reals.

in Python 2: -7/3=-3 which is floor of -2.(3) not trunc

So Python's integer division is far from being the same as in C or C++.
