In Python, what is a good way to round towards zero in integer division?

by

Do floating point division then convert to an int. No extra modules needed.

Python 3:

>>> int(-1 / 2)
0
>>> int(-3 / 2)
-1
>>> int(1 / 2)
0
>>> int(3 / 2)
1

Python 2:

>>> int(float(-1) / 2)
0
>>> int(float(-3) / 2)
-1
>>> int(float(1) / 2)
0
>>> int(float(3) / 2)
1
