Soitenly.
#!/usr/bin/python
#simple guessing game, with numbers
import random
spam = random.randint(1, 100)
print spam #debugging purposes
while 1:
guess = raw_input("What's your guess, friend? ")
if guess == spam:
print "You got it! Nicely done."
break
elif guess < spam:
print "Sorry, too low. Try again."
elif guess > spam:
print "Sorry, too high. Try again."
else:
print "You guessed ", guess

That works fine with strings and when "some_data" is hardcoded. I run
into trouble when "some data" is replaced with a number, unquoted. It
simply says "No good, etc"
