% python -Q new Python 2.4.6 (#1, Aug 3 2009, 17:05:16) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 10 / 3 #-> 3.3333333333333335 10 // 3 #-> 3 The python guys decided that int/int -> int was a mistake, but because it's an incompatible change, the removal process has been long (hence the -Q flag, or a from __future__ import).
