Yes, '//' works, see:

    https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/boisgera/jupyter-cython/master?filepath=Integer%20Division.ipynb

Actually, in this Jupyter notebook setting, this is '/' that doesn't work!
I should have a new look at this; since performance also matters,
I'd also like to have the Cython code with the smallest overhead 
(even if it is less readable/Pythonic).
