Are you referring to the interactive interpreter normally invoked by
just running "python"?  That seems to work for me:

Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53) 
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 2/3
0
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 2/3
