Hi,

I am not sure why everyone is using the for-iterator option over a 
"map", but I would do it like that:

MODUS_LIST= map(int, options.modus_list)

"map" works on a list and does commandX (here "int" conversion, use 
"str" for string.. et cetera) on sequenceY, returning a sequence. More 
in the help file.

And if I'm not completely mistaken, it's also the quicker way to do 
performance wise. But I can't completely recall the exact reason.
