Seems that you cannot use line continuation for integers. Unfortunate.
However, using strings to store the value, then later converting it
doesn't incur a significant overhead, as long as you are only
initializing MODULUS once.
MODULUS = '7567567567567567567567567567567'\
'7567507546546986094860986094860'\
'2345646986598695869548498698989'\
...
MODULUS = int(MODULUS)
