[Tutor] read from standard input

[Tiger12506]

while 1:
or
while True:
is more common

raw_input() always return a string, no matter what you type in.

>    if type(x) != int or x == 11:
type(x) is always <type 'str'>

x can never be 11, but can possibly be '11'.  (Notice quotes indicating 
string instead of integer)

If you want an integer you must say
x = int(raw_input())
