我遇到了这样一个问题:当python代码条件为停止时,它没有停止。为什么不停下来?

我在raspberry pi 4型号B上运行所有这些,带有8 gigs ram

import time

#sets variables and inputs
i = 0
meow = True
print("How many :")
runtimes = input("reo ")

#the main loop
while meow == True:
    i=i+1
    print(i)
    time.sleep(1)
    if i == runtimes :
        print("stopping")
        meow = False
