I understand and agree with both comments. I will confirm that a substantial number of people think -17 // 3 yields -5.0, so when I saw this I wondered if it reinforced that common misconception. I was curious enough to not just confirm in the actual docs not only that -17 // 3 == -6.0 but learned why it does so. I would be happy to see any of Terry's three suggestions added, with the first one adding the most bang for the buck (if someone is surprised to see -6.0 there, they can go look up why). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43034> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
