I posted an eerily similar request to another python group about two weeks ago! I, too, am very new to programming and the guessing game was my first shot at writing a script from scratch! Below is my code (improved with some help from others). I still would like to make some improvements to it also. But, perhaps there will be some ideas in it that can help you as well! Looking forward to learning and growing! All the best!

I've been working my way through a beginner's tutorial, and except for a very basic program I wrote in C++ one time, I think this is the first program I've ever done from scratch. Of course, I've incorporated ideas I've learned from folks on the Internet, my tutorial, and this list. I"m sure I've broken some rules along the way, but it does work without any errors (that I have found). So, how could I improve it? Is it readable to you, or a mess?
