Go to agree with that. What are the reasons _for_ doing this? Most people without knowledge of "C" derived programming languages are astonished that "1/2" can be "0".
Marc & Chris are wrong here. Every 3rd grader in the US knows that 1/2 is not 0. So I would say that (american) english agrees with the proposed new division rules in python.
