- The / operator returns floats, which loses information when both of the operands are integer. In Python 4, “1 / 2” should return a decimal.Decimal. To ease the transition, we propose to add a new “from __future__ import decimal_division” in Python 3.9 to enable this behavior.
“1 / 2” should be a syntax error.
"1 / 2" should return a string.
1 / 2 should return a fractions.Fraction.
And 01 / 04 / 2019 should return a April 1st datetime. (except in the US, of course) Regards Antoine.
