I noticed a few things:

# use input instead of raw_input
num = input('What shall I count to? ')
counter=0
while counter <= num:
	print 'loop #%d' % (counter)
	counter = counter + 1
# check your % syntax. Notice the differences in the way you used
# commas and parentheses on lines 4 and 6 of your script?
print 'your number was: %d' % (num)
