I guess the indention got mixed up in your post, if I try to run it, I get error messages at each of the "else:" lines, because they're mis-indented. "else" should be indented like the "if" it belongs to, e.g (using underscores for spaces): if s=='10': ____print "well done" else: ____print "something else" Make sure you're using tabs/spaces consistently across the whole file, too. If I indent the else clauses correctly, I can run your script and it behaves the way you expeced.
