[Python-Dev] PEP 238 - The // operator should truncate instead of floor

Lino already pointed you to the relevant FAQ entry, but since you
explicitly asked for it: you are mistaken, the result is right.

It would have been good if you had indicated what result you had
expected instead. I assume 0; to get 0, you have to write -(3/2)+3/2,
or 0-3/2+3/2.
