A hangman game.

There's a problem with line 26 (I think, maybe this was intentional). The first word I got was 'prosecutor'. I got to 'prosecut--', but then couldn't go any farther. If I guessed 'o' or 'r' it just refound the ones at the beginning of the word.

I would generally solve this with a try/except block in a loop, using the start parameter of the index method:

start = 0
while True:
    try:
        locate = letter_list.index(guess_letter, start)
        spaces[locate] = guess_letter
        start = locate + 1
    except:
        break

You can also do it in a loop:

start = 0
for letter in range(letter_list.count(guess_letter)):
    location = letter_list.index(guess_letter, start)
    spaces[locate] = guess_letter
    start = locate + 1

Also, I would inform the user of how many guesses they have left.
