Your pseudocode looks fine.
Try writing that as Python.
You'll need to use raw_input() if using python 2 or input() in Python 3
You will want to convert the input to an int()
You will want to use the random module, and probably the randrange 
function within it.
You will need variables to store the number of tries and the latest guess,

Try it. If you get stuck show us what you've done, any error messages 
and tell us what you don't understand.
