The operator needs to get new interfaces added in
support of truediv and floordiv.

Also a reminder for Fred to add more docs for this.

Added floordiv() and truediv() in Modules/operator.c
revision 2.18. There's still plenty of documentation to be
written regarding the changes in division, so I'm
re-classifying this as a documentation request.

Added documentation for the operator.floordiv() and
operator.truediv() in Doc/lib/liboperator.tex revision 1.20.

Please, could you verify if this problem persists in Python 2.3.4
or 2.4?

If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case?

If the problem is solved, from which version?

Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug
as "Won't fix".

Thank you!

Problem persists in both versions.

I am no expert but think this is fixed by inserting the following:

\lineiii{FloorDiv}{\member{left}}{}
\lineiii{}{\member{right}}{}
\hline

I've applied the suggested change to asttable.tex on both
HEAD and release24-maint. Thanks for reporting this!
