STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:

I'm not convinced that this operation is so common that it deserves a new 
operator. As Serhiy wrote, it must be first on python-ideas first. I close the 
issue.

floor division is x//y

integer ceil division can be implemented with math.ceil(x/y) for small numbers.

For large integer numbers, I like to use something like:

def ceil_div(x, y):
    rem=x % y
    if rem:
        x += y - rem
    return x//y

I let you adjust it for negative numbers ;-)
