Am stumped, when I use this code:
race=int(row[2])
raceChek=1
This causes IndentationError: unexpected indent.
if raceChek == race: print ('raceChek ', raceChek, 'race ', race)
else: print ('raceChek ', raceChek,' no match ', 'race ', race);
raceChek = race
I Get this:
raceChek 1 race 1
raceChek 1 race 1
raceChek 1 race 1

I don't see how. The code you show fails completely, due to the
inconsistent indentation. Even if we fix the indentation, it will only
print something *once*, not eighteen times.
You don't show us what the variable "row" has, so we don't know what
value "race" has. Presumably it equals 1, but then later on you get:
raceChek 1 no match race 2
[repeated many times]
raceChek 1 no match race 3
[repeated many times]
So mysteriously race is changing value.
Obviously you are not showing us the actual code you are running, but
only part of the code. Would you like us to guess what code you are running?
Seems my test between race and raceChek doesn't work! What is wrong?
What makes you think that the problem is the test? It seems to me that
the test
if raceChek == race:
is so simple that it couldn't possibly be broken. The problem is
probably somewhere else. But since I don't know how you are getting
eighteen lines of output, I don't know what you are doing and can't tell
you what it is that is wrong.
