this is showing indentation error : unxepected error

What I have tried:

Python

import random

  guessesTaken = 0

  print('Hello! What is your name?')

  myName = input()

  number = random.randint(1, 20)

 print('Well, ' + myName + ', I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.')
 while guessesTaken < 6:
     print('Take a guess.') # There are four spaces in front of print.
     guess = input()
     guess = int(guess)
     guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1
     if guess < number:
         print('Your guess is too low.') # There are eight spaces in front of print.
     if guess > number:
         print('Your guess is too high.')
     if guess == number:
         break

 if guess == number:

     guessesTaken = str(guessesTaken)

     print('Good job, ' + myName + '! You guessed my number in ' + guessesTaken + ' guesses!')


 if guess != number:

     number = str(number)

     print('Nope. The number I was thinking of was ' + number)

With Python, indentation is part of the language. You have rules to respext.
Try this:

Python

import random

guessesTaken = 0
print('Hello! What is your name?')
myName = input()
number = random.randint(1, 20)

print('Well, ' + myName + ', I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.')
while guessesTaken < 6:
    print('Take a guess.') # There are four spaces in front of print.
    guess = input()
    guess = int(guess)
    guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1
    if guess < number:
        print('Your guess is too low.') # There are eight spaces in front of print.
    if guess > number:
        print('Your guess is too high.')
    if guess == number:
        break

if guess == number:
    guessesTaken = str(guessesTaken)
    print('Good job, ' + myName + '! You guessed my number in ' + guessesTaken + ' guesses!')

if guess != number:
    number = str(number)
    print('Nope. The number I was thinking of was ' + number)

Indentation in Python is extremely important - it controls the execution flow.
Start by "pulling" the initial stuff over to the left:

Python

import random

  guessesTaken = 0

Becomes:

Python

import random

guessesTaken = 0

And so on.
Then check that you haven;t mixed tabs and spaces in your other indents: Python treats them both as a single character whitespace, but the visually appear to be the same:

Python

# Look at these:
    a = 1
	b = 2

The first line has four spaces, the second has one tab character. Python considers them to be different indentation!
Check your editor converts tabs to spaces!
