It happened to me also  but I got the problem solved  I was using an indentation of 5 spaces  but when I pressed tab  it used to put a four space indent  So I think you should just use one thing  i e  either tab button to add indent or spaces  And an ideal indentation is one of 4 spaces  I found IntelliJ to be very useful for these sort of things

You are mixing tabs and spaces   Find the exact location with   python -tt yourscript py   and replace all tabs with spaces  You really want to configure your text editor to only insert spaces for tabs as well

For Sublime Text Editor Indentation Error generally occurs when the code contains a mix of both tabs and spaces for indentation  I have got a very nice solution to correct it  just open your code in a sublime text editor and find  Tab Size  in the bottom right corner of Sublime Text Editor and click it  Now select either  Convert Indentation to Spaces   OR  Convert Indentation to Tabs   Your code will work in either case  Additionally  if you want Sublime text to do it automatically for you for every code you can update the Preference settings as below - Sublime Text menu  gt  Preferences  gt  Settings - Syntax Specific   Python sublime-settings        quot tab size quot   4       quot translate tabs to spaces quot   true

This has happened with me too  python is space sensitive    so after       colon  you might have left a space  for example   space is represented by         if command     HOWMANY         opcodegroupr    A0       opcoder    85   elif command     IDENTIFY         opcodegroupr    A0       opcoder    81     so try removing the unnecessary spaces if you open it in IDE your cursor will be displayed away from     something like  -  if command     HOWMANY                                whereas it should be -  if command     HOWMANY

Did you maybe use some  lt tab gt  instead of spaces   Try remove all the spaces before the code and readd them using  lt space gt  characters  just to be sure it s not a  lt tab gt

In Notepad     View --- Show Symbols --- Show White Spaces and Tabs select    replace all tabs with spaces

In doubt change your editor to make tabs and spaces visible  It is also a very good idea to have the editor resolve all tabs to 4 spaces
