Thanks, the % operator is indeed what I want, but I want to use it with a function expression rather than with numbers alone. And that seems to create a type error.Here's an example of what goes wrong: t = var('t') L(t) = t*725.5%360.0 This produces the following error message: ... TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression' and 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression' I can use other arithmetic operators such as + and / in this function expression, but not %, and I don't understand why. Is it indeed a Sage-specific problem rather than something I could work around in Python?
It seems that someone either forgot to implement % or decided not too. You will have to ask the sage people.
