I am not sure why you think It is unexpected behavior. And even if it is, it is not even in the same league as the quirks of Php. It would be if 3/2 outputs 1 but 7/2 outputs 3.5, both in Python 2. Then that would be unexpected behavior in the same league as that of Php's.

> it won't happen overnight but the trend is there, strong and growing.

It is just appearance. Just movement, not progress. I just provided you with an example on how new features added follows the same incompetent design, consistant with Php's track record.

>No such thing as a perfect programming language since everyone has a different definition of perfect.

Yea, there is no perfect one, But there is something that is too bad that should not be used. Php is that. It is not going to change.
