Project Euler Problem 1 - Python

This is the first Project Euler problem solved by using Python.

# euler1.py

#If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples
# of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6, and 9.
# The sum of these multiples is 23.
# Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

total = 0

for x in range(1000):
    if (x % 3 == 0) or (x % 5 == 0):
        total = total + x

print total
