Negative division bug?

Hello:
Just wondering if this is a bug, is this as designed,
or do I have to import math or something to make it correct:
I was just screwing around.
and found:
>>> -1/100
-1
Shouldn't it be zero?
1/100 returns 0
but -1/ANY_POSITIVE_INTEGER_NUMBER
returns -1
>>> -10/3
-4
It behaves correct for positive numbers, but for negative
integers it seems to subtract one from the expected result.
Thanks in advance:
Michael Yanowitz
