BTW, at the upcoming pydata workshop: http://pydataworkshop.eventbrite.com/ I'm organizing a panel discussion with Guido and other core developers precisely to discuss possible improvements to the language that would benefit scientific users. I haven't put any formal announcement yet (will try to do so in the next couple of days), but if any of you will be near the Mountain View googleplex on Friday March 2, keep this in mind. Once I put out a formal announcement we'll set up a signup list for people to attend. I hope that in that panel we'll be able to discuss issues such as this one (I also would like python to expose native division into the rationals à la Sage, so that the main *semantic* difference between sage and python could be removed).
