My question is, why are these expressions False?

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:45:15) 
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> num = raw_input("Choose a number: ")
Choose a number: 5
>>> print num
5
>>> print ( num < 18 )
False
>>> print ( num == 5 )
False

Because if i try this:

>>> print ( num > 0 )
True

The expression works fine.

Thank you for the help!
