Python Reference Manual, chapter 5.6:

The / (division) operator yields the quotient of its arguments. The
numeric arguments are first converted to a common type. Plain or long
integer division yields an integer of the same type; the result is that of
mathematical division with the `floor' function applied to the result.

Try:
3.0/2
