May I suggest this reading ?

Please re-read *very carefully* the doc for input(). Then switch to 
raw_input() and perform appropriate validation and conversion.

> sum = number + total

don't use 'sum' as an identifier, unless you don't mind shadowing the 
builtin sum() function.

We're not. number won't be automagically added to sum.
