You could make lists which include the letters, and number associated with those particular letters. Then in your loop you can check in which list the letter appears, and then fetch the number from that particular list.

You can try this function
>>> def number(letter):
... return (ord(letter) - ord('a')) % 9 + 1
...
>>> import string
>>> print([(l, number(l)) for l in string.ascii_lowercase])
[('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3), ('d', 4), ('e', 5), ('f', 6), ('g', 7), ('h', 8), ('i', 9), ('j', 1), ('k', 2), ('l', 3), ('m', 4), ('n', 5), ('o', 6), ('p', 7), ('q', 8), ('r', 9), ('s', 1), ('t', 2), ('u', 3), ('v', 4), ('w', 5), ('x', 6), ('y', 7), ('z', 8)]Also check this!
