a simple number guessing game

import sys, os, time, random



loop = ["10", "9", "8" ,"7" , "6" , "5", "4", "3" , "2" , "1"]



l = random.choice(loop) # Random choice of loop



if sys.version_info[0] > 2: # fixes python 2 input as raw_input 

	inp = input # python3 input

else:

	inp = raw_input # python2 raw_input



if "-debug" in sys.argv: print("Number is: [\033[31m%s\033[0m]" % l) # For debugging (cough) cheating xD



nc = inp("Guess the number? between 1 and 10  ") # asking for user input



if nc == l: print("yay you got %s" % l) # if user input is equal to random choice of loop print this

time.sleep(1)

os.system("clear")



if not nc == l: print("=/ you no win the number was\n [\033[31m%s\033[0m]" % l) # if user input is not equal to random choice of loop print this

time.sleep(1)

os.system("clear")

You could do

		Code 			
import random

print """\t\t\tWelcome to \"Guess the Number\"!
\nThink of a number between 1 and 100.
try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"""

number = input ("Enter the number: ")

guess = random.randrange (100) + 1
tries = 1
useds = []

while (guess != number):
        if (guess > number):
                print "You chose", guess, "the number is Lower ..."
                useds.append(guess)
        else:
                print "You chose", guess, "the number is Higher ..."
                useds.append(guess)

        guess = random.randrange (100) + 1
        if guess in useds:
                while guess in useds:
                        guess = random.randrange(100) + 1
        else:
            tries += 1

print "You guessed it! The number was", number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"

raw_input ("Press <ENTER> to exit.")
