Aha. That statement does not mean (0*d)%1 == 1. It means $ 0\times d
\equiv_1 1.$
Maybe the examples 1.inverse_mod(0) and 0.inverse_mod(1) could be
added to the docstring
I agree that the results are inconsistent, but it is true that 0*d = 1 (mod
1). And as a number theorist, I like the current behavior better than your
proposed solution, which would translate x into the interval [0,d).
I would suggest changing 4705 of integer.pyx to:
if mpz_cmp_ui(m.value, 1)
