Yes, it's already under the "What's new in Python 2.2" section of the docs, 
in the section entitled "Changing the Division Operator."  (In my docs, 
it's .../whatsnew/node7.html.)  (1 / 2) will equal 0.5 in Python 3.0 by 
default, and with 'from __future__ import division' until then.  From 2.2 
on, the 'floor division' operator (1 // 2) gets you good old C-style 
integer division.
