Okay Jason, I did it your way. The resulting code being 2 lines shorter.
Unfortunately I still have the same problem as before (that being if the
guess is wrong it gives no suggestion as to higher/lower but rather just
asks you to guess again):

python 1-30guess.py
Welcome.
Guess the number: 0
Guess the number: 0
Guess higher.
Guess the number: 9
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 8
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 7
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 6
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 5
Guess lower.
Correct.

 here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print("Welcome.")
g = input("Guess the number: ")
guess = int(g)
while guess != 5:
    g = input("Guess the number: ")
    guess = int(g)
    if guess < 5:
        print("Guess higher.")
    else:
        print("Guess lower.")
print("Correct.")
