Your first problem has nothing to do with exception handling.
The culprit is Line 4:

I suppose that you forgot a second equal sign between x and int(x). If 
it were
>                x == int(x) and x > 0
it would have worked as expected. But this would not trigger any 
exception, if X is a number. So let's add one:
 >                if not (x == int(x) and x > 0): raise(ValueError)

Hope that helps,
