Which makes it ambiguous:

    Python 2.7.1 (r271:86882M, Nov 30 2010, 10:35:34) 
    [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> 1/2.3
    0.4347826086956522
    >>> 1 / 2.3
    fish: Job 2, 'python' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
(I didn't expect that last part.)

There's something weird going on with your system. There is absolutely no way under normal circumstances that you'd get a segmentation fault dividing 1 by 2.3.

    0.4347826086956522
Identical output under Python 3.3.2

Yep -- it seems like a readline problem. As you can tell, I don't use this machine for Python.
