pow()

[Ivan Van Laningham]

Hi All--
I couldn't find an explanation for the three-argument version of pow()
on DejaNews, the Python 1.5.2 docs or the Python FAQ, so I'll ask now.

Can someone explain (in simple terms, for a bear of small brain) to me
what the modulo argument to __pow__ is for?

	__pow__(self,other[,modulo])

Thanks very much,
Ivan
