The elif line should be aligned with the if line like this:


if <condition>:
     XXXXX
     XXXXX
elif <another condition>:
     YYYYY
     YYYYY
elif <and another>:
     ZZZZZ
     ZZZZZ
else:
     AAAAA


The indentation is what python uses to figure out where
the blocks (X,Y and Z) end. Aligned as you have it Python
tries to interpret the elif as if it were part of the
if block.

I think you mean modulo not modules.
Modules, especially in Python, means something very different.
