if line == "3":
Assuming you adopt my approach, then each line will be a digit
followed by \n (newline). So no line will == "3". Instead use:
if line[:-1] == "3":
or
if line.rstrip() == "3"
or even
if line.startswith("3"):
personally I prefer rstrip() over the -1 slice because it catches
more potential junk.
