Comment(by cwitty):
Pure Python implements int() of a float as truncating toward zero:
{{{
>>> int(3.14159)
3
>>> int(-3.14159)
-3
>>> int(2.71828)
2
>>> int(-2.71828)
-2
}}}
I think in general we've implemented int() on real numbers of various
types as truncating toward zero to follow this precedent.
