Python chose, quite some time ago, not to follow C's lead on division: PEP 238 – Changing the Division Operator (2001) [1]

The rationale is basically that newcomers to Python should see the results that they would expect from grade school mathematics, not the results that an experienced programmer would expect from knowing C. While the PEP above doesn't touch on division by zero, it does point toward the objective being a cohesive, layman-friendly numeric system.
