[prog] why doesn't this program work? (python)

[Jacinta Richardson]

It did come with indentation... perhaps it got stripped by some mailers?

Anyway I'm wondering whether the problem might be here:

guess = input("Guess a number: ")

In Perl at least, if I were to enter 
3
that would be interpreted as "3\n" which would never be the same as "3".
Do you have to do something special to remove the newline?  If not how
do you tell python that you intended to enter a newline?

I haven't done much with Python, so I'm quite possibly mistaken.

Good luck.
