I can't see anything obvious, can you be more specific. Which
number does it always choose(I assume you mean the choice()
call?) or does it choose a different number to stick on each time?
And have you tried putting a debug print statement after the call
to choice, just to see what you get out?

Just some thoughts,

"))    if answer == 1:        compchoice = choice(range(3)) 
humanchoice = int(raw_input("Enter 1 for rock, 2 for paper, and 3 for 
scissors. "))        if compchoice == 1:            print "AI chose
