一個猜字遊戲例子：

#!/bin/python2

import random
realnumber=random.randint(0,100)

i=1 
print "the number guess play"
number=int(raw_input("the number between 0-100 ,you can guess: "))
theFirstRight=True

while number != realnumber:
    if number < realnumber:
        number=int(raw_input("little, and again: "))
    else:
        number=int(raw_input("bit, and again: "))
    i+=1
    theFirstRight=False
if theFirstRight:
    print "great, right for once.."
else:
    print "you're right so long..."
    print "you guess for %i times.." %i
