Stefan Behnel added the comment: IMHO, the most straight forward way for a new gcd() function to work would be to always, predictably return a non-negative value and let users handle all cases themselves where a negative sign of any or all input values has a specific meaning to them. That's the path of least surprise, and it's very easy to implement at the C level for PyLong values (as they are internally unsigned anyway).
