Summary: Unclear deprecation referant:cuto-pasto?

Initial Comment:
In the Language Reference (Python Reference Manual),
Section 5.6 Binary arithmetic operations,
At the end of the portion on "the % (modulo) operator,"

I see the following pair of paragraphs:

    Complex floor division operator, modulo 
    operator, and divmod(). 

    *Deprecated since release 2.3.* Instead convert to 
    float using abs() if appropriate.

The first paragraph is not a sentence (and I do not 
understand what sentence it wants to be).  In the 
second It is not clear what is being deprecated.

I suspect lost text.

I would also suggest a link to string formatting info on 
this page, since this is where I went to look (expecting 
to find the operator % to mention the string uses).

Replaced with:

*Deprecated since release 2.3* the floor division operator, 
the modulo operator, and the divmod() function are no 
longer defined for complex numbers.  Instead, convert to a 
floating point number using the abs() function if 
appropriate.
