Vedran Čačić added the comment:
That seems horribly arbitrary to me, not to mention inviting another intdiv
fiasco (from sanity import division:). If only Counter was committed to only
working with integer values from start, it might be acceptable, but since
Counter implementation was always careful not to preclude using Counter with
nonint values, it wouldn't make sense.
Also, there is an interesting inconsistency then, in the form of
c = Counter(a=5,b=5).normalize(5)
Presumably c.a and c.b would be equal integers, and their sum equal to 5. That
is unfortunately not possible. :-o
