Now that you have a working solution, I don't mind giving my more
pythonic solution:

  sum(dividend for dividend in range(1000)
    if any(dividend % divisor == 0 for divisor in (3, 5)))

which succinctly states the problem and makes it easy to
add/remove/change the divisors in one place rather than having to
define multiple variables to hold them and "if" statements to
evaluate them.
