I'm trying to use some my python code from a class project for an Kivy app just for practice. I know the code works perfectly fine whether I run in it simply in IDLE or as an IPython notebook, but I'm encountering some weird error when I run the code in kivy app. The following is the Traceback:

if sheetnames[x-1] == "MegaMillions":
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: '_ElementStringResult' and 'int'
I also run into the same error for another line in the code, it's when I use this ---> x -= 1.
This error occurs within the updateDatabase(). I can get past the decrement error only by using this --> x = int(x) - 1, otherwise the error persists. If I use this --> sheetnames[int(x)-1] it will overcome the error but I'm not why I have to do it this as x already contains an integer value in the first place. Following pass this particular error the program gives me a list index out of range within the same function for some reason at areas within the function wherever I'm using the code --> sheetnames[x-1].
I tested the function out within Python 3.4 IDLE and IPython Notebook 2.1 and 2.2 and it works perfectly. In case anyone is wondering what I'm IDE I'm using it's the latest version of Eclipse Luna.
The following is the full code for my app:

Your issue is python's scoping rules, and this line in the
updateDatabasemethod:It re-assigns the local variable
xwithin this list comprehension. After this line,xwill be the text of whatever the last item innumbersis. Just use another variable here to fix.A good Python idiom is to use
_for a variable name in constructs like list comprehensions where you just need a variable for a bit, and don't care about its value after. So:
