[Tutor] while loops,password

[Rob]

password = "foobar"
a=0

while password != "unicorn":
    print "You've guessed",a,"times."
    password = raw_input("Password?:")
    a=a+1

    if password=="unicorn":
        print "Welcome in, you took ", a, "attempts."

    #I added
    elif a>3:
        break

The *break* breaks out of the while loop.

You *guess* you're enjoying learning Python? hehe. If there's anything we
can do to make it more enjoyable, let us know. This *should* be kinda fun,
IMO.
