why wont this work???

[opencircles]

input("please enter your age: ")

a = input()

if a < 18:
print "you may not enter."
else:
print " you may enter."

i have also tried instead of else. if a > 18 you may enter.

wen the program is ran and i put anythin either over or under 18 is says you may not enter. wut is wrong here? ( i didnt write the code in python, i just wrote it here )

whaat did my post just disapear? (not sure if this is an error or something)

anyway here it is again:

a = input("please enter your age: ")

if a > 18:
    print "you may enter"
else:
    print "you may not enter"

if you want to allow people who ARE 18 OR older:

a = input("please enter your age: ")

if a >= 18:
    print "you may enter"
else:
    print "you may not enter"

short:

a = input("please enter your age: ")
if a >= 18: print "you may enter"
else: print "you may not enter"
