Converting String to int

Having the actual code would be helpful...

This line would likely bomb, as in python, it's "True", not 
"true" (unless you've defined lowercase versions elsewhere)

>    else:

However, I modified your code just a spot, and it worked 
like a charm:

mynums = "423.523.674.324.342.122.943.421.762.158.830"
mynumArray = mynums.split(".")
x = 0
for num in mynumArray:
     if num.isdigit():
         x = x + int(num)
     else:
         print "Error"
         break

and it worked fine.

A more pythonic way may might be

x = sum([int(q) for q in mynumArray if q.isdigit()])

or, if you don't need mynumArray for anything, you can just use

x = sum([int(q) for q in mynum.split(".") if q.isdigit()])

Hope this gives you some stuff to work with,
