[New-bugs-announce] [issue7482] Improve ZeroDivisionError message for float and complex object

[Ezio Melotti]

New submission from Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com>:

The current error messages for divisions by 0 of float and complex
object say "float/complex division", whereas for int and long is
"integer/long division by zero":
>>> 5/0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
>>> 5.0/0
ZeroDivisionError: float division

The attached patch adds "by zero" to the error messages of float and
complex in case of division, modulo or divmod by zero.

(Should I add tests to check the error message too?)
