This is an interactive game between the computer and the player, where the computer chooses a word and the user has to guess the letters in that word.
The computer provides certain number of guesses to the user.

Below is my code:

import random
import string

def load_words():
    print "Loading word list from file..."
    inFile = open("words.txt", 'r', 0)
    line = inFile.readline()
    wordlist = line.split()
    print "  ", len(wordlist), "words loaded."
    return wordlist

wordlist = load_words()

def choose_word(wordlist):
    return random.choice(wordlist)

def avail_letters(guesses,guess): 
    return guesses.replace(guess,'')

def fill_blank(random_word,blank,guess):
    blank_new=''
    for i,l in enumerate(random_word):
        if l==guess:
            blank_new+=guess
        else:
            blank_new+=blank[i]
        #print blank_new    
    return blank_new

def hangman():
    random_word=choose_word(wordlist)
##    print random_word
    len_word=len(random_word)
    print "I am thinking of a word that is ",len_word," letters long."
    print "-------------"
    no_of_guesses=len_word*2
    guesses=string.ascii_lowercase
    guess=''
    blank="_"*len_word
    while no_of_guesses:
        print "You have ",no_of_guesses," guesses left."
        guesses=avail_letters(guesses,guess)
        print "Available letters: ",guesses
        guess=raw_input("Please guess a letter: ")
        if guess in random_word and guesses:
            blank=fill_blank(random_word,blank,guess)
            print "Good guess: ",blank
        else:
            print "Oops! That letter is not in my word: ",blank
        no_of_guesses-=1    
        print "-------------"
        if blank==random_word:
            print "Congratulations, you won!"
            break;
    else:
        print "Sorry, you lose!"
