Print the largest odd number entered

I wrote this code to solve a problem from a John Vuttag book:


Ask the user to input 10 integers, and then print the largest odd number that was entered. If no odd number was entered, it should print a message to that effect.

Can my code be optimized or made more concise? Any tips or errors found?

{
    a = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    b = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    c = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    d = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    e = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    f = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    g = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    h = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    i = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    j = int (raw_input("enter num: "))

    num_List = {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j }
    mylist=[]

    ## Use for loop to search for odd numbers

    for i in num_List:

                 if i&1 :
                     mylist.insert(0,i)
                     pass

                 elif i&1 is not True: 
                     continue
    if not mylist:
        print 'no odd integers were entered'
    else:
        print max (mylist)

}

This is a solution that doesn't use lists, and only goes through the input once.

maxOdd = None

for _ in range(10):
    num = int (raw_input("enter num: "))
    if num & 1:
        if maxOdd is None or maxOdd < num:
            maxOdd = num

if maxOdd:
    print "The max odd number is", maxOdd        
else:
    print "There were no odd numbers entered"
