I am writing a simple program based off an ipo chart that I did correctly.
I need to use ceil but I keep getting an error saying ceil is not defined.
I did import math, I think.  I am using 3.2.3 and I imported this way...

>>> import math
>>> math.pi
3.141592653589793
>>> math.ceil(math.pi)
4
>>> math.floor(math.pi)
3

... but I get the error when using ceil...

pepsticks = ceil(peplength / StickLength)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#19>", line 1, in <module>
    pepsticks = ceil(peplength / StickLength)
NameError: name 'ceil' is not defined

Thanks for the help!
