I bumped into an oddity today:
6.0 // 0.001 != math.floor(6.0 / 0.001)
In looking at Objects/floatobject.c, I was surprised to find that
float_floor_division() is implemented in terms of float_divmod(). Does anyone
know why it takes such a circuitous path? I had expected something simpler and
faster:
return PyFloat_FromDouble(floor(a/b));
