It screams "magic" in a very un-Pythonic (and possibly very Perl-like) way. I'm not aware of any other part of the standard library grossly abusing standard operators in this way. As others have noted, "/" is being used here to mean precisely the opposite of what it means in every other use in Python, which alone should be justification for getting rid of it.
