Python can't divide??!?!

It is indeed about the interactive interpreter and repr, but
the problem is repr, not the interpreter.

There isn't a better way than repr to display the result of
evaluating an expression, but unfortunately repr has also
been saddled with another agenda at times.  So whether the
`function that renders as a string for purposes like display
at the interpreter top level' (which is repr) should render
floats with quasi-full-precision or not, repr will do that
anyway.
