[issue32543] odd floor division behavior

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

That does look at first glance like a bug in // to me. 0.9/0.1 is correctly rounded to 9.0 exactly, so flooring it should return 9 (as it does):

# Python 3.5 on Linux
py> 0.9/0.1 == 9
True
py> math.floor(0.9/0.1)
9

So I too would expect that 0.9//0.1 should evaluate as 9, not 8.
