[Tutor] My first python program!

[Kevin]

Ok here is something I can't figure out I put a define at the top of the
program called   tries = 5

I need to make this part of the program count down from 5 every time they
get a guess wrong. How do I do that?

def game2():
  a = randrange(1, 10)
  guess = int(raw_input("Pick a number from 1 to 10, You only get 5 tries!:
\r\n") )
  while guess != a:
      print "Thats not it!\r\n"
      guess = int(raw_input("Pick a number from 1 to 10, You only get 5
tries!: \r\n") )
  else:
      print "Congrats! that was the correct number!\r\n"
      ans = raw_input("Would you like to play again?[y/n]: ")
      if ans == 'y':
                        game2()
                    else:
                        while ans != 'n':
                            print "That is not a choice!\r\n"
                            ans = raw_input("Would you like to play
again?[y/n]: ")

                        print "Thank you for playing, come back again!\r\n"

Thanks

Kevin
