[Tutor] output question

[Shi Mu]

I found the code for class "now". I got confused by two things:
First, how did the former code I posted know to import tis module of "Now";
Second. what does "\" mean following "self.year,"
Thanks a lot!

class now:
    def __init__(self):
        self.t = time.time()
        self.storetime()
    def storetime(self):
        self.year, \
        self.month, \
        self.day, \
        self.hour, \
        self.minute, \
        self.second, \
        self.dow, \
        self.doy, \
        self.dst = time.localtime(self.t)
    def __str__(self):
        return time.ctime(self.t)
    def __repr__(self):
        return time.ctime(self.t)
    def __call__(self,t=-1.0):
        if t < 0.0:
            self.t = time.time()
        else:
            self.t = t
        self.storetime()
