What to do with “Unexpected indent” in python?

Question

How do I rectify the error \"unexpected indent\" in python?

Answer 1

In Python, the spacing is very important, this gives the structure of your code blocks. This error happens when you mess up your code structure, for example like this :

def test_function() :
   if 5 > 3 :
   print "hello"

You may also have a mix of tabs and spaces in your file.

I suggest you use a python syntax aware editor like PyScripter, or Netbeans
