[Numpy-discussion] sign of modulo

[Eric N. <no...@ph...>]

The Numpy version of modulo uses a different sign convention for
negative arguments than does Python itself:

>>> -5 % 3
1
>>> array((-5,-5)) % 3
array([-2, -2])

(Numpy version 20.2.0, Python version 1.5.2 and version 2.2a4.)

Is there a reason for this (hard to imagine), or is this a bug?
