% 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). In fact, I think they gave up on making it the default before python 3. I appreciate that haskell has differentiated from the beginning. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
