Description for the operator precedence should read 
"Multiplication, matrix multiplication division, remainder" instead of 

"Multiplication, matrix multiplication, division, floor division, remainder.

Section 6.16. Operator precedence

I feel this would help a new comer to python to instantly figure out what does "//" stand for.
