[Python-Dev] Floor division

[Python-Dev] Floor division [Python-Dev] Floor divisionRaymond Hettinger raymond.hettinger at verizon.net

I bumped into an oddity today:

    6.0 // 0.001 != math.floor(6.0 / 0.001)

In looking at Objects/floatobject.c, I was surprised to find that 
float_floor_division() is implemented in terms of float_divmod().  Does anyone 
know why it takes such a circuitous path?  I had expected something simpler and 
faster:

     return PyFloat_FromDouble(floor(a/b));
