Fair enough for a first time yes.
We prefer not to use input to read numbers(*) since it can be abused
as a security loophole so its usually better to use raw_input() for
everything and convert to the appropriate type:
num = int(raw_input('Type a number: '))
But otherwise it looks fine.
(*) And yes, I know my own tutor describes the use of input(), I
really
must get round to removing that bit...
