The implementation is not even that difficult. Oops... This statement is true for the Fortran definition of modulus (result has the sign of the dividend) but not the Python definition (result has the sign of the divisor). In the Python world, it's true only when the dividend and divisor have the same sign. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
