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 t

Thank you for providing an actual code example (though not one I can
run, since it isn't a complete Python program).
Particularly, thank you for providing the *actual* error output; this
makes it much clearer what is happening.
I
eed a
Sage-specific problem rather than something I could work around in Python?
Many thanks again for any help.

In Python, you simply use the modulo (‘%’) operator::
>>> 45.0 % 360
45.0
>>> 700.0 % 360
3
