The pass is redundant it does nothing (thats its purpose! :-)
You can also remove the variable n:

while True:
     try:
        num = int(raw_input("give me an integer: "))
        # use num now or keep it for later
        break
     except:
       print "Sorry, that wasn't an integer!"

# can also use num here...
