This error could actually be in the code preceding where the error is reported. See the For example, if you have a syntax error as below, you'll get the indentation error. The syntax error is actually next to the "except" because it should contain a ":" right after it.

try:
    #do something
except
    print 'error/exception'


def printError(e):
    print e

If you change "except" above to "except:", the error will go away.

Good luck.

It s because you have   def readTTable fname       try    without a matching except block after the try  block  Every try must have at least one matching except   See the Errors and Exceptions section of the Python tutorial

MaxPython The answer above is missing  quot   quot  try      do something except      print  error exception   def printError e   print e

you didn t complete your try statement   You need and except in there too
