Now...when done. the output should look like this:
>>> main()

Welcome to the game of BULLS and COWS.
The objective in this game is for you to guess a 4-digit number
The computer responds with how close your guess is to the target
BULLS = # common digits with exact matches and
COWS = # common digits in wrong position.

Enter guess number 1: 1876
Bulls = 1 Cows = 1
Enter guess number 2: 1183
Your guess should not contain repeating digits
Enter guess number 2: 1596
Bulls = 1 Cows = 2
Enter guess number 3: 1956
Bulls = 3 Cows = 0
Enter guess number 4: 1954
Bulls = 3 Cows = 0
Enter guess number 5: 1958
Bulls = 4 Cows = 0
Congratulations You Won!!

Sorry You ran out of guesses!!
The correct number was: 7016

I already have the smaller programs needed to run the main...I just don't know how to set up the main function to make it work. this is what I have so far.

from myro import *
from Bulls import *

def extractDigits(num):
return [(num/1000)%10,(num/100)%10,(num/10)%10,…

def numberOfBulls(num1, num2):
c3,c2,c1,c0 = extractDigits(num1)
d3,d2,d1,d0 = extractDigits(num2)
bulls = 0
if(d3 == c3):
bulls = bulls + 1
if (d2 == c2):
bulls = bulls + 1
if (d1 == c1):
bulls = bulls + 1
if (d0 == c0):
bulls = bulls + 1
return bulls

def numberOfCows (num1,num2):
c3,c2,c1,c0 = extractDigits(num1)
d3,d2,d1,d0 = extractDigits(num2)
cows = 0
if ((d3 == c2)or(d3 == c1)or(d3 == c0)):
cows = cows + 1
if ((d2 == c3)or(d2 == c1)or(d2 == c0)):
cows = cows + 1
if ((d1 == c3)or(d1 == c2)or(d1 == c0)):
cows = cows + 1
if ((d0 == c3)or(d0 == c2)or(d0 == c1)):
cows = cows + 1
return cows

def noRepeatingDigits(num):
d3 = (num / 1000) % 10
d2 = (num / 100) % 10
d1 = (num / 10) % 10
d0 = (num / 1) % 10
return ((d3 != d2) and (d3 != d1) and (d3 != d0) and
(d2 != d1) and (d2 != d0) and
(d1 != d0))

def produceTarget():
while True:
num = randint (1000,9999)
if (numberOfBulls(num1, num2)):
break
return num

def welcomeMessage():
print "Welcome to the game of BULLS and COWS."
print "The Objective in this game is for you to guess a 4-digit number"
print "The computer responds with how close your guess is to the target"
print "BULLS = # common digits with exact matches and"
print "COWS = common digits in wrong position."

def main():
maxTurns = 10
turns = 1
guess = input("Enter guess number", turns,": " )

welcomeMessage()
while turns != maxTurns:
noRepeatingDigits(produceTarget())
if guess


if numberOfBulls != 4:
turns = turns + 1

see? my main functions kind of a little sketchy to even start out with...can you guys please help me?

First help us out by indenting your code blocks properly as required by the Python syntax.

Code tags help too.
