The previous posters already pointed out your int problem. However, the 
if-statement can be written with a lot less clutter:

if points > 100:
     return "Illegal score"
elif points > 89:
     return "A"
elif points > 79:
     return "B"
elif points > 69:
     return "C"
elif points > 59:
     return "D"
else:
     return "F"

I have a feeling that there's a Python-solution that is shorter yet 
better readable, I just can't figure it out yet...
