Code critique - Computer Guessing Number Game

Please provide suggestions/improvements anywhere in my code. Thanks!

Objective: Have the computer guess my number under 5 attempts.

def you_guess():
  import random

  secret_number = 7
  guess_limit = 5

  def machine_guess():
    guess = random.randint(1, 10)
    return guess

  def guidelines():
    print("Welcome Mr.Computer! Now it's your turn to guess my secret number."
          '''
          Here are some guidelines:
          It's a number between 1 and 10
          You have five guesses to get it right
          ''')

  guidelines()

  while guess_limit > 0:
    attempt = machine_guess()
    guess_limit -= 1

    if attempt > secret_number:
      print("You guessed {0}. That's too high! {1} trys left!".format(attempt, guess_limit))
    elif attempt < secret_number:
      print("You guessed {0}. That's too low! {1} trys left!".format(attempt, guess_limit))
    else:
      print("You got it right on guess attempt #{}!".format(5 - guess_limit))
      break
