numpy bug?

[Warren B. Focke]

Huaiyu Zhu sez:
[Numeric and Python integer division don't agree.]

	Numeric just calls the C operators for / and %.  C leaves the
rounding direction for integer division up to the implementor if both
operands are not positive, but does require that (a/b)*b + a%b == a as
long as b != 0.  So NumPy gets it right from that point of view.
	Python does specify the rounding direction, in a manner that
has been extensively argured in this group to be correct.  I don't
really remember the reasons at the moment, check dejanews, it's on
there somewhere, I'm sure.
