You should install a editor  or IDE  supporting Python syntax  It can highlight source code and make basic format checking  For example  Eric4  Spyder  Ninjia  or Emacs  Vi

This error also occurs if you have a block with no statements in it  For example   def my function        for i in range 1 10     def say hello        return  hello    Notice that the for block is empty  You can use the pass statement if you want to test the remaining code in the module

If you are using a mac and sublime text 3  this is what you do   Go to your  Packages User  and create a file called Python sublime-settings   Typically  Packages User is inside your   Library Application Support Sublime Text 3 Packages User Python sublime-settings if you are using mac os x   Then you put this in the Python sublime-settings          tab size   4       translate tabs to spaces   false     Credit goes to Mark Byer s answer  sublime text 3 docs and python style guide   This answer is mostly for readers who had the same issue and stumble upon this and are using sublime text 3 on Mac OS X

You ve mixed tabs and spaces  This can lead to some confusing errors   I d suggest using only tabs or only spaces for indentation   Using only spaces is generally the easier choice  Most editors have an option for  automatically converting tabs to spaces  If your editor has this option  turn it on     As an aside  your code is more verbose than it needs to be  Instead of this   if str p    str q      result   True else      result   False return result   Just do this   return str p    str q   You also appear to have a bug on this line   str q   p b 1     I ll leave you to figure out what the error is
