Sounds like a circular import problem:  lookup circular import in Python.

I was wondering:

 after I loaded the libraries an imported randinit when I run the program it says: 

     ImportError: cannot import name randinit

does this mean I need to install something? My duckduckgo search ("ImportError: cannot import name randinit" python) gave me a big 'nothing found' message.

Here's mine, you're pretty much right on track now.  I thought I'd include this just to introduce a few new concepts and help you think a little more like a computer.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#This first line is really nifty, and all Linux users should be familiar with this.
# If you pass this file into python, the first line gets ignored, but if you pass it into bash or sh, then a # and a ! are called a magic byte, or whiz-bang for short
# They tell bash to open the rest of this file using the program and arguments passed on the first line.  
# So this line changes my python script into a bash program, and if I had saved this as /tmp/myguess.py, I could then, from a bash prompt type in /tmp/myguess.py to run it

from random import randint

# Right after the first line, it's polite to import all your libraries and functions right at the top.  This particular one says I want, from the "random" library to get a function called "randint"
# randint returns a random integer in a specified range
# The rest of the file is my actual program

answer = randint(0,10)

guess = int() # this is called an uninitialized integer.  It has the space of ram allocated, but no value placed in it yet.  These tend to be about 100x faster than initialized data types

while guess is not answer: #same thing as guess != answer

    if guess is int(): # I only want something printed after they've guessed

        pass 

    else:

        print("Wrong.")
    #Since this part is at the same indentation level as the if and else, it will always get executed

    g = input("Guess my number: ")

    guess = int(g)

print("Correct!")

You may be better off using if statements.

If number is less than 5

print guess higher

else 

print guess lower

Then wrap all of that in a while loop with a condition of while less than 5.

however it does give suggestions on subsequent guesses....

here is what I have (that sorta works):

print("Welcome.")

g = input("Guess the number: ")

guess = int(g)

while guess < 5:

    g = input("Guess the number: ")

    guess = int(g)

    print("Guess higher.")

while guess > 5:

    g = input("Guess the number: ")

    guess = int(g)

    print ("Guess lower.")

print("Correct")

 What I mean by 'sorta' is if the first guess is not correct  it does not give a suggestion to guess lower or higher. Why is this?

The while needs to before input so that it will wait for input if the variable is not equal to 5.

You would probably want to wait and ask for the input inside the loop as well. What you seem to be doing is you ask for input and then you execute the loop not letting the user input the new number and thus running into an infinite loop.

This might fix it, not tested though :)

print("Welcome.")
g = input("Guess the number: ")
guess = int(g)

while guess != 5
    print("Guess again.")
    guess = int(g)
    print("Correct")


Thanks
