[Matrix-SIG] -1%2 = 1 and array([-1])%2 = array([-1]) Why?

[Jean-Bernard ADDOR]

Hey Numerical people!

I just tried the following:

>>> -1%2
1
>>> array([-1])%2
array([-1])

I would have expected array([+1]).

What is the philosophical reason Numerical should give another result than
nude python?
