Nested While Loops not working

I'm trying to use a while-loop to find a match between two values. One is static while the other is an entry in a list. This is the code:

 while count != 10:

    for x in rawinput[pos]:
       a = ord(x)
       hash = hash + a

    print hashlist[247]
    print hash
    print wordlist[247]

    while hash != hashlist[247]:
       pass


    print wordlist[247]
    hash = 0 
    count = count + 1

In reality, hash DOES equal hashlist[24开发者_如何学运维7], but instead of recognizing it and continuing the code with print wordlist[247], python gets hung up at the nested While loop. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Edit: Fixed Indentation and removed non-relevant variables.

Edit #2: All variables are defined earlier in the script. This is only a snippet of code that is giving me trouble. Hash and Hashlist[247] are equal (print hash and print hashlist[247] each give 848 as output).

Edit #3: SOLVED -- Thanks for the help!

The code you posted doesn't nest any while loops.

while count != 10:

    for x in rawinput[pos]:
       a = ord(x)
       hash = hash + a

This is the only relevant code. This is an infinite loop assuming count didn't start at 10.

Thing 1: the Pythonic way of doing something 10 times is

for _ in range(10):
    ...

Thing 2: clearly Python thinks that hash != hashlist[247], or it wouldn't loop infinitely. Try print hash, hashlist[247], hash == hashlist[247] to check.

Thing 3: what's the point of while cond: pass anyway? Are you trying to do multithreaded stuff or something?

Considering the updated post (with indented code): the top-level while will be infinite, if the initial value of count is greater than 10.

Also, if hash != hashlist[247], the following loop will be infinite as well (if there are no custom __getitem__, __eq__ and changing values from another thread):

...
while hash != hashlist[247]:
   pass
...

This was due to hash and hashlist being of a different type :/. str and int. I overlooked this, since the python interpreter didn't mention anything about a typeerror, which I'm used to it doing, and I simply forgot to check.

Thanks to everyone for your help!
