Martin v. Löwis added the comment: Tom: you are misinterpreting the docs. It says (paraphrased) that the result of x//y equals floor(x mathematically-divided-by y), which is different from floor(x/y). Your computer is not capable of performing the mathematically-divided-by operation; you have to compute it on paper.
