Explicit type conversion not happening

Question

I have the following python code:

playerlocation =(input("Player location?"))
playerlocation = list(playerlocation.split(","))

for x in playerlocation:
try:     
     x = int(x)
     coordsareintegers = True
     print(playerlocation)
except:
     coordsareintegers = False

When I print X, it should logically be printed as int but instead they are printed as string. Am I going wrong somewhere?
