applying 2 conditions to a loop

[nilamo]

SOLVED: I was trying
if maxScore == 'None':
continue

I needed to write

if str(maxScore) == 'None':
continue

Don't use str() like this, just refer to None itself, instead of a string which happens to contain "None".

>>> x = None
>>> x == "None"
False
>>> x is "None"
False
>>> x == None
True
>>> x is None
True
