testing equality in template tag

with view code like so:

        import calendar

        months_choices = []

        for i in range(1,13):

            months_choices.append((i, calendar.month_name[i]))

        context['months'] = months_choices

and 

context['default_month'] = today.month

I have this snippet in a template (my first use of lists like this):

<select name="month">

        {% for month in months %}

        <option {% if default_month == month.0 %} selected {% endif %}

                value="{{ month.0 }}">

            {{ month.1 }}</option>

        {% endfor %}

</select>

The issue is the  {% if default_month == month.0 %} always returns false... The rest of the select is properly built - I get a number for the value and the month name as the label.

Why?
