Your code works fine for me. What's the problem exactly?
Be aware, 'eval' is a built-in function, you might want to use a
different name. And instead of "your" use "you're" the contraction of
"you are"-- but that's not a code problem.
FWIW, here's another way to structure your program without the
recursion you're using.
yournum = input("I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100.\n Guess
which number: ")
mynum = (yournum-5)
def loop():
global yournum, mynum
while yournum != mynum:
if yournum < mynum:
print "Nope. Too low"
elif yournum > mynum:
print "Oh, you're too high"
again()
print "Wow! You got it!"
def again():
global yournum
yournum = input("guess again: ")
loop()
