Guido has written a blog post explaining "Why Python's Integer Division Floors" [1].
Python also uses floor division, and the corresponding "sign-of-modulo matches sign-of-divisor", for floating-point numbers. The blog post claims that this can be problematic in certain cases (compared to C's "sign-of-modulo matches sign-of-dividend"), but does not give any concrete examples.
