Problem with for loops

Commeted step-by-step:

# This creates a comma delimitered string
number = "9,234,456,123,456,789"

# An empty string variable
cleanedNumber = ''

# this looks at number, character by character, (9, then , then 2 ...)
for char in number:

    # checks if char in (is part of) string '0123456789. (0, 1, 2 ... or 9), (could have used isdigit)
    if char in '0123456789':

        # This sets the appends the value of char to the current value of cleaned Number
        cleanedNumber = cleanedNumber + char
 
        # this sets newNumber to the integer value of cleanedNumber 
        newNumber = int(cleanedNumber)

        # This displays value of newNUmber
        print("the Number is {}".format(newNumber))
 
        # This sets state to each of the four strings, one each iteration
        for state in {"not pinin'","no more", "a stiff", "bereft or life"}:

            # Display the value of state.
            print("This parrot is "+ state)
