Python does it right. C is allowed to do it anyway it likes, which was a stupifyingly horrible decision, IMHO.
Way back when, there was a language named Pascal. I lobbied the Pascal standards committee to define the modulus operator correctly, which they eventually did. To my astonishment, they proceded to define the division operator backwards to the modulus operator, so that division and mod did not play together correctly.
