By the way, for clarification, "bugs" can be logical or syntactical. So it's not entirely "debugged" yet, because you still have "raw_imput" where it should be "raw_input".

You also have:

(Toggle Plain Text)

   if __name__ == '__main__':
      start()
      print
      raw_input('press return')
   else:
      print 'Module guessgame imported'
      print 'to run, type:guessgame.start()'
      print 'to refresh, type:reload (guessgame)'

On the wrong indentation level. Do you understand what it means for a block to be indented? Indentation specifies to which block a line of code belongs. By indenting all that, you're saying it belongs to the function, which it doesn't. It belongs to the main flow of the program on the first indentation level.

Edit: That's the reason it just pops up and exits, because there are still run-time errors. You should be able to run the program from IDLE (Python GUI) by pressing F5 when you have the script opened up for editing.
