[issue22337] Modulus not returning proper remainder

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This is, indeed, the way Python works.  See

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html

where you will find:

The modulo operator always yields a result with the same sign as its second operand (or zero); the absolute value of the result is strictly smaller than the absolute value of the second operand
