Terry J. Reedy added the comment: n < (j-i)/k is a straightforward translation of i + n*k < j, and vice verse, where / is rational division. It is incorrect to integerize the result and the doc does not say to do so. In Python 3, there is no ambiguity, and the doc is *not* incorrect, and does not need to be changed. In Python 2, I think it still clear enough, but we could add "(where / indicates rational division)'. However, I also think this might be too nitpicky. I am inclined to think that this should be closed.
