Help on built-in function pow in module __builtin__:

pow(...)
    pow(x, y[, z]) -> number

    With two arguments, equivalent to x**y.  With three arguments,
    equivalent to (x**y) % z, but may be more efficient (e.g. for longs).


Everybody forgets that pow can take three arguments, except of course for 
those who use that functionality and would be mighty peeved if it went 
away.
