Python Selenium Web Driver - fail the test case deliberately if, "if condition is false"

I'm new to automation. Please help.

I want to fail the test case if the below condition is false. How can I achieve that with python code in selenium webdriver. In below case, it passes the test even if the condition is false (BIAdisplayed is 359631 i expect it to fail). See the execution result at the bottom. 

    BIA = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[3]/div/accordion/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/form/fieldset/div[2]/div[2]/ul/li[3]/ul/li[1]/input")
    BIAdisplayed = BIA.get_attribute("value")

    if BIAdisplayed == 0:
        try:
            print BIAdisplayed
        except Exception as e:
            print e
            raise # Raise the exception that brought you here 
    driver.close()
    driver.switch_to_window(main_window)

The main point is that your statement

    if BIAdisplayed == "0":

prevents Python to throw the exception. BIAdisplayed == 359633 (?) so it does not satisfy this condition, so Python skips every code inside the if-block, including the part where the exception is thrown.

I am not sure what you want to do, but you could alter the if-block in 

    if BIAdisplayed == "359633":
        raise Exception('BIAdisplayed == "359633"')

You are comparing string with int

BIA = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[3]/div/accordion/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/form/fieldset/div[2]/div[2]/ul/li[3]/ul/li[1]/input")

BIAdisplayed = BIA.get_attribute("value")

if BIAdisplayed == "0":
    try:
        print BIAdisplayed
    except Exception as e:
        print e
        raise # Raise the exception that brought you here 
driver.close()
driver.switch_to_window(main_window)
