You seem to be trying to check that the user hasn't entered
an integer. But that's a backwards way of looking at it. If
the only valid inputs at that point are "y" or "n", then
you should check for those specifically:

    answer = input("\t >> ")
    if answer == "y":
       # do the "yes" thing
    elif answer == "n":
       # do the "no" thing
    else:
       # user entered something wrong
