if x & 3:
print "not divisible by 4"
x &= ~3
print "it is now: x = %d"
If you want to round to nearest power of 4 rather

You should use // for future compatibility which is guaranteed to be

Depends what you mean by 'make it divisable'. Do you want to ch

if x % 4 <> 0:

if x % 4 == 0:
# x is divisible by 4

Use modulo operator '%'
if not x % 4:

Division with rest:
>>> x % 4
