Oh by the way... Your subject line says "modules", but the % operator calculates "modulo". Modules are sections of Python-callable code - there's a "sys" module, a "math" module, and so on - and you can call them up with the "import" statement: import sys import math etc. Modulo means remainder (a bit of handwaving there - look it up on Wikipedia if you care about the specifics), which is what you're doing here.
