That is definitely more useful information in answering your questions.
Whenever you see the error you are getting:

NameError: name 'smv_guessNumber' is not defined

That means you are using a variable, in this case 'smv_guessNumber', that
has not been created yet.

The reason this is happening here is you need to import sys.
