How do I find the prime numbers in a given interval ending with 1
Advice: Separate concerns , it makes things easier!
A number being prime or not is pretty well defined and do not depend on anything other that the number itself.
def IsPrime(n)
...
return ...
Look at your code !
You know that you only want to display primes with a 1 in unit digit, checking the unit digit is rather easy and fast, checking if a number is a primes is harder.
Look for easiest path:
l=int(input('enter the lowest'))
h=int(input('enter the highest'))
unit= l%10
if unit !=1:
l= ...
while l < h:
l= l+10

What error did I make?
You can find by yourself by using the tool of choice: the debugger.
Your code do not behave the way you expect, or you don't understand why !
There is an almost universal solution: Run your code on debugger step by step, inspect variables.
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't know what your code is supposed to do, it don't find bugs, it just help you to by showing you what is going on. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
To see what your code is doing: Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute.
