I'm pretty sure that your problem is not in the code snippet you have 
shown us. Here it works as expected (I've copied your code, added 
"import random" and "dice = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]" at the top and saved as 
"dice.py"):

Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:05:24)
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import dice
 >>> dice.point(1)
Roll
4 + 5 = 9
Point is 1. You scored 9.
Try again.
Roll
4 + 3 = 7
Point is 1. You scored 7.
'lose'
 >>>

Please show us the part where you use the "point" function.

Bye, Andreas
