I used gdb to find it: Breakpoint 1, math_sin (self=<module at remote 0x7fffea716098>, args=0) at / usr/src/debug/python3-3.7.2-4.fc29.x86_64/Modules/mathmodule.c:1176 1176 FUNC1(sin, sin, 0, (gdb) l 1171 "remainder($module, x, y, /)\n--\n\n" 1172 "Difference between x and the closest integer multiple of y. \n\n" 1173 "Return x - n*y where n*y is the closest integer multiple of y. \n" 1174 "In the case where x is exactly halfway between two multiples of\n" 1175 "y, the nearest even value of n is used.
