First up, there's a missing ) on each call to int(), which is causing the syntax error you see. The error points at "while" because "while" doesn't make sense in the call to int(). > > while (guess != number): > if (guess > number): After fixing the error above, you'll have another one here: you haven't indented the block to be executed in the while loop. Indentation is important in Python, it delimits code blocks and makes things more readable for people. > number = int(raw_input("Sorry, my number is lower than that! \n Try > again:") > tries += 1 There's also another indentation error here: everything in the same block has to be indented to the same level. > else if (guess < number): > number = int(raw_input("Sorry, my number is higher than that! \n Try > again:") > tries += 1 > print "Congratulations, you guessed my number! \n And it only took you" tries > "tries!" And here will be another syntax error: you have to separate your arguments to 'print' with commas. > > raw_input("\n\n Press any key to exit..") > > ## what is wrong with this script?

I'll let you figure out why yourself, though ;). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
