New submission from Tom Pohl:
According to the documentation of the floor division
(http://docs.python.org/2/reference/expressions.html#binary-arithmetic-operations),
x//y should be equal to math.floor(x/y).
However, the result of 1//0.1 is 9.0 (tested on 2.6, 2.7, 3.2).
It might be related to the internal representation of floating-point numbers,
but for this example I would expect it to come up with the correct values.
Cheers,
Tom
