[python] Python IndentationError: unexpected indent

Run your program with

python -t script.py

This will warn you if you have mixed tabs and spaces.

On *nix systems, you can see where the tabs are by running

cat -A script.py

and you can automatically convert tabs to 4 spaces with the command

expand -t 4 script.py > fixed_script.py

PS. Be sure to use a programming editor (e.g. emacs, vim), not a word processor, when programming. You won't get this problem with a programming editor.

PPS. For emacs users, M-x whitespace-mode will show the same info as cat -A from within an emacs buffer!
