Original Note:
The tweet seems to suggest that Python is "off" w.r.t. mainstream languages, while the issue is just related to the fact there are at least 3 different variants (with a specific sign convention) for the modulo. For an in-depth explanation and comparison, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo#Variants_of_the_definition and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo#In_programming_languages
