Not clear. :-) I'd prefer to keep the name that's consistent with both C and IEEE 754. (We already have plenty of naming differences between Decimal and math; attempting to reconcile them is likely futile.) FTR: IEEE 754: remainder C99: remainder IBM Decimal spec: remainder-near Java: IEEEremainder .NET: IEEERemainder ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29962> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
