You need to change it to following :

if "(" in line or ")" in line or "module" in line:

Actually your command is equal to if True or True or "module" in line:

Boolean operations :

In the context of Boolean operations, and also when expressions are used by control flow statements, the following values are interpreted as false:

False, None, numeric zero of all types, and empty strings and containers (including strings, tuples, lists, dictionaries, sets and frozensets). All other values are interpreted as true.
