I had typed help(pow) in the interpreter and got:
<quote>
py3: help(pow)
Help on built-in function pow in module builtins:
pow(x, y, z=None, /)
Equivalent to x**y (with two arguments) or x**y % z (with three arguments)
Some types, such as ints, are able to use a more efficient algorithm when
invoked using the three argument form.

A quick scan of some of my Python books does not turn up the use of
"/" as a function argument. I have a nagging feeling I've read about
this somewhere previously, but I cannot bring it to mind, and I have
yet to stumble on a search that brings up an answer (Yet.).
TIA!
