Python Scripting - Rotation of circles solution

After many attempts, I have finally managed to make the circles rotate around the building. Not the best solution, but it works!

Step 1: Creates a cylinder and rotate it -90 degree+ (-5 degree for leaning tower) so that it smacks and stays there on the cylinder. 

Step 2: Group and duplicate then include the number of circles that you want and make them rotate in the Y-axis. Use of equation is "each*36". This is the angle between two circles. It is derived from a complete rotation, (360 degree)/number of circles. In this case, I need 10 circles, so 360 degree/10 equates to 36 degree. 
Step 3: Group them again so that they move, scale and rotate together.
