It's not Sage division vs. Python division, it's Sage Integers vs. Python ints.
At the Sage console, input lines are preparsed to wrap numbers like 1
to 4 in "Integer" calls:
sage: 1/4
1/4
sage: preparse("1/4")
'Integer(1)/Integer(4)'
In fact, you could even turn the preparser off, and recover Python's behaviour:
sage: preparser(False)
sage: 1/4
