Hi all,
When i run a doctest on this piece of code (shown at bottom) i get this error 
message [from the doctest]:



Trying:
    rot13('5 The Parade')
Expecting:
    '5 Gur Cnenqr'
**********************************************************************
File "F:\Uni\Rot13_1.py", line 12, in Rot13_1.rot13
Failed example:
    rot13('5 The Parade')

    '5 Gur Cnenqr'
Got:

An one have any idea why? (I'm guessing its to do with the numbers)


code:

def rot13(s):

    """
    >>>   type(rot13("bob"))
    <type 'str'>
    >>>   len(rot13("foobar"))
    6
    >>>   rot13("abc")
    'nop'
    >>>   rot13("XYZ")
    'KLM'
    >>>   rot13('5 The Parade')
    '5 Gur Cnenqr'
    >>>   rot13('5 Gur Cnenqr')
    '5 The Parade'
    """
    result = ''             # initialize output to empty
    for char in s:      # iterate over string
        if int:
            char_low = s.lower()
            if char_low<= 'm':
                    dist = 13
            else:
                dist = -13
            char = chr(ord(char) + dist)
        result+=char
    return result
