About a year ago, I wrote a program that used mod() for modulo under 2.5. Apparently, % is also acceptable, but the program works quite well. I turned the program over to someone who is using 2.4, and apparently 2.4 knows nothing about mod(). Out of curiosity, what library is mod(a,b)(two args) in? It doesn't seem to be in numpy. It seems to be built-in. If so, why isn't it both 2.4 and 2.5?
mod() not is a built-in. It is, however, in the 'operator' module, and also as __mod__() in that same module. Both are equivalent to '%'. It has been there since at least Python v2.0. As for why something might not be in an earlier version, well, that would be because it hadn't been added yet! :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
