That won't work as written, because it'll print "you failed," then
break, then print "You guessed it!"...

As an alternative to what I suggested before, if you really just want
to end the program, you could also do

from sys import exit

<rest of code>

    if tries > 10:
        print 'you failed- give up'
        exit()
