Your expressions return false so number is not defined. add

number = " string is not equal to a number."

before the expression.

I think your trying to get a number value for each character? you should be comparing if the value of alphabet equals a given string, then assigning a numerical value to number. I.E.

if alphabet.upper() == "A": number=1
