Integer division revisited (was Re: [Python-Dev] Gradual migration)

Hi,

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:

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.

Regards, Peter
