I would rather to do the loop as :
max_try = 5
for x in xrange(max_try):
g = int(raw_input(["Take a guess","Take another guess"][x != 0]))
if g == number:
print "bingo, hit it in %i tries" % x + 1
break
elif g < number: print "try higher"
else: print "try lower"
else: print "sorry, you lose, the number is %i" % number
