It should raise > `ValueError` if `value` and `modulus` are not relatively prime. > It would feel odd to me _not_ to extend this to > `pow(value, n, modulus)` for all negative `n`, again > valid only only if `value` is relatively prime to `modulus`. I'll work up a PR using the simplest implementation. Once that's in with tests and docs, it's fair game for someone to propose algorithmic optimizations. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36027> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
