vided by 3?" She will answer, "3".
Grade school students learn long division, which is divmod() in Python - it returns a dividend and a remainder. So she will answer (3,1) ;)

I agree. They say "3 remainder 1" -- gradeschoolers don't just toss the remainder. Although integer division is useful, it's more obscure than regular floating point. Even though converting / to floating, and using // for integer return is going to break more code, I think it's better in the long run, for all the new code as yet unwritten. There's some pain in changing such a basic, primitive feature in a language already in production. Going to case-insensitivity would have been an even bigger nightmare. I'm OK with Guido pushing ahead with the above, and am glad the CI issue is being dropped. Kirby
