Does Sympy support modular groups?
I'm looking for something akin to pari/gp's Mod function.

Somewhat confusingly, the ring of integers modulo n is implemented as GF(n) (the notation suggesting finite fields, which these in general are not). So, 5 mod 12 would be represented by
>>> from sympy import GF
>>> x = GF(12)(5)
>>> print(x)
5 mod 12
>>> print(x*4)
8 mod 12
>>> print(-x)
7 mod 12
>>> print(x+10)
3 mod 12
>>> print(x**2)
1 mod 12

In what module is GF defined? – Philippe Oct 09 '18 at 18:27

`from sympy import GF` works for me; a more specific import would be `from sympy.polys.domains import GF` – Oct 09 '18 at 20:19
