Reclaiming the division operator from truncating integer division: [...]
Bruce Sherwood and David Scherer suggested a IMHO very clever solution to this particular problem in March/April this year. This thread was first posted to idle-dev and afterwards X-posted to python-dev: http://www.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2000-April/000138.html http://www.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2000-April/000140.html http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-April/010029.html Unfortunately I'm no native english speaker and have not enough time to make a Python-2.1 PEP from it. May be somebody else wants to go for it? I still believe, this was a very clever Python enhancement, which should be officially proposed.
