def main():
     print ("Guess a letter between a and e")
     randomNumber = b

     userGuess = input("Your guess: ")

     if userGuess == randomNumber:
         print("You got it")
     else:
         print ("That's not it")

main()

(Python doesn't have explicit block-end delimiters. The end of a block 
(of the one compromising the body of function main in this case) has to 
be inferred from encountering some statement at the same or lower indent 
level than the opening 'def'. Or the end of the file.)

Anyway, the above won't completely fix the program as you haven't 
defined b, although you may have intended "b", even though you've called 
the variable 'randomNUMBER'.

With "b" in place of b, the program works on Python 3, although it 
doesn't verify bad inputs.
