Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a version difference, or simply a bug in the docs.

Here's what your docs say: 
(http://docs.python.org/release/2.3.5/tut/node5.html)

>>>  # Integer division returns the floor:
... 7/3


Here's what python on my machine says:

C:\waggle\qa\server_auto>python
Python 3.2.2 (default, Sep  4 2011, 09:51:08) [MSC v.1500 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> 7/3
2.3333333333333335

Seems not to be integer division going on... Though I'm not at all clear 
if this is my particular version, or some configuration thing.
