Having the actual code would be helpful...

This line would likely bomb, as in python, it's "True", not
"true" (unless you've defined lowercase versions elsewhere)

However, I modified your code just a spot, and it worked
like a charm:
mynums = "423.523.674.324.342.122.943.421.762.158.830"
mynumArray = mynums.split(".")
x = 0
for num in mynumArray:
if num.isdigit():
x = x + int(num)
else:
print "Error"
break
and it worked fine.
A more pythonic way may might be
x = sum([int(q) for q in mynumArray if q.isdigit()])
or, if you don't need mynumArray for anything, you can just use
x = sum([int(q) for q in mynum.split(".") if q.isdigit()])
Hope this gives you some stuff to work with,
