discrete_log?!

So is it working at all?

In Mathematica:

In[88]:= MultiplicativeOrder[3, 401, 138]
Out[88]= 318

In SageMath 9.4:

discrete_log(138, 3, 401-1)
...
"ValueError: No discrete log of 138 found to base 3"

I tried 401 and operation="*"

What I want? I want 318, because, in Python:

pow(3,318,401)=138

You asked for the discrete logarithm in the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$. You meant the following:

sage: discrete_log(Mod(138,401), Mod(3,401), 401-1)
318
