i've had a look at the source code and written a small patch (attached; 
contains a case in classical/floor division as well as truediv).
is there a defined escalation procedure from python-list to python-dev 
or should i just send the suggestion+patch there?

ps: i hope the patch conforms to python c coding style (most of it is 
just copy/pasted and modified).
