Number validation issue

[Morten Engvoldsen]

Hi,
Just to clear the confusion: i am talking about below part of my code:

elif mod == 11:
>>         if not len(checknum)!= 11:
>>             return False
>>         weights = [5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
>>         return (sum(w * int(x) for w, x in zip(weights, checknum)) % 11)
==0

for which i am looking for solution that it should validate the 'n' length
of number with weight ...............4,3,2,7,6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4,
3,2, 1  in this format from left to right.

Thanks in advance again..
