For the record, that was true in python2, but is not true in python3. In python3, if you want pure integer division, you have to use `//`:
Python 3.11.7 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Dec 23 2023, 14:38:07) [Clang 16.0.6 ] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 2/3
0.6666666666666666
>>> 2//3
0
