i don't know if this is efficient but i think it works just fine....
import random
# input a number from user
input_number = input("Enter a number")
#function defination
def guess_number(start,stop):
global input_number
try:
g_number = random.randrange(start,stop)
if g_number == input_number :
print "The Input Number is : ",g_number
else:
print "guessed number is :",g_number
reply = raw_input("Enter higher or lower")
if reply == "lower":
guess_number(start,g_number)
else:
guess_number(g_number,stop)
except ValueError,(ex):
print "you have entered wrong answer."
guess_number(1,100)
