Number game, computer version

I have the general gist of this running. How would I limit the next higher or lower guess from (1,10) -> (guess, 10) -> (old guess, new guess).

import random

def game():
    comp_guesses=[]
    number = random.randint(1,10)
    print("Think of a number between 1 and 10 and the computer will try and guess it")
    while len(comp_guesses) < 5:


        print("Is your numbner {}?".format(number))
        answer = input("Was my guess correct, too high, or too low? ")
        if answer == "correct":
            print("I am awesome")
            break
        elif answer == "too high":
            print("Darn! I will guess again")
            comp_guesses.append(comp_guesses)
            number = random.randint(1, number)

        elif answer == "too low":
            print("Darn! I will guess again")
            comp_guesses.append(comp_guesses)
            number = random.randint(number, 10)


    else:
        print("I guessed too many times!")
    play_again = input("Do you want to play again? Y/n ")
    if play_again == "Y":
        game()
    else:
        print("Goodbye!")
game()

You just need to change :

number = random.randint(comp_guesses[-1] ,10) 
number = random.randint(1, comp_guesses[-1])

The line before generating a new randint, the previous number put at the end of the guessed numbers list, and we can access that by index -1.

Btw It's a nice program, good job Jonathan !
