Resulting in "You have opened 0 door"?  So maybe that should be
'quantity != 1'.  Also, what if you change 'door' to a word where
adding a traling 's' doesn't make the plural, or translate to a
language where it never does?  This would be better (IMHO):

x = (if quantity != 1: "doors" else: "door")

s.split('\n') perhaps?
