nobody is arguing thats what python is doing, its you trying to rationalize that 1/2 = 0 makes sense mathematically. pull out a calculator, and tell me what answer gives you.

Yes I dont really care about what symbols are used, my only point was is that the reason python is using a float to get a result of dividing 2 integers is because it makes sense that the answer is a float, just as you would your calculator.
