That's C thinking, you have to get away from that ;)

In Python, there is no "char" type. Every char is a string, and you
can't add an integer to a string.

But, luckily, everything is an object, too, and has useful methods to do
something with the object. In case of your problem, that would be

char = char.lower()

Check out the String Modul

Which is ofcourse, correct behavior. You cannot add numbers to strings.

Use the tolower string method. It even works on strings of length >1:

print "BiGLeTtEr".lower()

bigletter

There's also an upper().

Caution! Always use the functions of the str object itself, not the
correspondig method of the string module because the former is quicker.
There are cases where you need the string module, but they have become rare.

Instead of "string.upper(s)" use "s.upper()"
