#44327 — Guess the Number Repeat

How do I make the following program play the 'guess the number game' twice?

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.') 
    guess = input()
    guess = int(guess)
    print('You have ' + str(5 - guessesTaken) + ' guesses left.')
    guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1
    if guess < number:
        print('Your guess is too low.')
    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)

If you put everything needed to guess once into a function like in the 
following example. Once you have reorganised

#first version -- flat
guess = int(input("guess my number: "))
if guess == 42:
     print("congrats")
else:
     print("sorry, you're wrong")

into

#second version -- using a function
def guess_number():
    guess = int(input("guess my number: "))
    if guess == 42:
         print("congrats")
    else:
         print("sorry, you're wrong")

guess_number()

you can easily modify the script to invoke the guess_number() function 
inside a loop:

#third version -- calling the function from within a loop
def guess_number():
    guess = int(input("guess my number: "))
    if guess == 42:
         print("congrats")
    else:
         print("sorry, you're wrong")

for i in range(2):
    print("round", i+1)
    guess_number()
