Learning Python: If condition executing all the time

This Python code is for guessing a number from 1 to 100. There is nothing wrong with the ‘guesser()’ function, which I know because my program also has a “manual mode” that works perfectly. For some reason, it always assigns the ‘guesss’ value to ‘low’ and keeps doing so until it equals 100 and the program “Ragequits”. It never does anything to ‘high’, which stays at its default throughout the execution. No matter what, it never executes the “winning” block.
NOTE: The variables ‘high’ and ‘low’ start as 101 and 0 respectively, and ‘guesser()’ chooses a number between them. ‘goOn’ is used earlier in the code to determine if the person wants to play again.

            num = raw_input('Enter the number which you want the computer to guess. ')
            unguessed = True
            while unguessed:
                if high == low + 1 or high <= low:
                    print 'Waitafligginflagginminnit! You CHEATED! *Ragequits*'
                    goOn = False
                    unguessed = False
                    print ''
                    raw_input('Press Enter to continue.')
                guesses = guesses + 1
                guesss = guesser()
                print 'I guessed', guesss
                if guesss == num:
                    print 'Yay! I won in', guesses, 'guesses!'
                    again = raw_input('Just press enter if you want to play again. Otherwise...you know the drill. ')
                    unguessed = False
                    print '\n\n'
                    if again:
                        goOn = False
                else:
                    print 'Awww...'
                    if guesss > num:
                        high = guesss
                    elif guesss < num:
                        low = guesss

Answer 1

You should use int(raw_input()) instead of raw_input in order to retain the guess as an integer. raw_input() alone returns a string, and so comparisons will not hold.
