You need to indent the while and if blocks.

Instead of writing:

while running:
code


you need to write:

while running:
    code


See the indent? You should use either 1 tab or 4 spaces, but not both.


Another problem with your code, although it is not a syntax error, is 
that you have:

guess = int(raw_input('Enter an integer : '))


That is from Python 2. In Python 3, use:

guess = int(input('Enter an integer : '))

(don't forget to indent it correctly).

There may be other problems, please fix these first and if you have any 
other problems copy and paste the FULL error, everything from the line 
starting

Traceback 

to the end of the error message.
