pycrypto rsa inverse of p modulo q

Looking up into Crypto.PublicKey.RSA, I see there is a computed value named "u" for which I can't see the use. The value of "u" is the inverse of p modulo q, in the code: obj.u = pubkey.inverse(obj.p, obj.q) Can someone tell me where this value could be used in the RSA scheme? (it is not used i
