Thanks! I had no idea % worked with complex numbers in Python 2. (Apparently the behaviour was deprecated back in 2002, but not removed until Python 3: bugs.python.org/issue543387.)

@MarkDickinson This is Python 2. At least, it works in 2.7. I wasn't aware that complex % isn't available in Python 3 -- thanks for pointing this out.

Is this Python 3? If so, the +0j isn't necessary: some_negative_int**0.5 already gives a complex number. But I don't see how the % operation will work with either Python 2 or Python 3, given that you can't use % on complex numbers. What version of Python was this solution written for?
