You can do
number = random.randint(0,10)
while number == 5:
number = random.randint(0,10)
ANSWER 2
Score 6
How about
random.choice([x for x in range(11) if x != 5])
for a one-liner
ANSWER 3
Score 1
If you actually want an error to be raised then you can use assert
number = random.randint(0, 10)
assert number != 5
or raise an error if your condition is met.
number = random.randint(0, 10)
if number == 5:
raise ValueError # or another Exception of choice
Or if you want to keep trying until you get a random number that isn't 5, then
while True:
number = random.randint(0, 10)
if number != 5:
break
ANSWER 4

!= is actually an operator that returns true or false try this:
import random
l=[i for i in range(1,11)]
l.remove(5)
print random.choice(l)
