Rules for Python Indentation:

  • Either always use tab or always use spaces - never mix the two.
  • Even better would be to never use tabs, they don't always survive copy/paste.
  • Use 4 spaces per indentation level (or 2, or 8) and always be consistent.

The problem with your source (assuming you don't have any tabs - although what you posted doesn't have tabs - your source may since the tabs could have been lost during copy/paste):

You have an indentation level of 4 spaces beneath class and 5 spaces beneath def. Remove a space from the indentation below all of the function definitions.

As the error message indicates, you have an indentation error . This error occurs when a statement is unnecessarily indented or its indentation does not match the indentation of former statements in the same block. Python not only insists on indentation, it insists on consistent indentation . You are free to choose the number of spaces of indentation to use, but you then need to stick with it. If you indent one line by 4 spaces, but then indent the next by 2 (or 5, or 10, or ...), you'll get this error.

However, by default, mixing tabs and spaces is still allowed in Python 2 , but it is highly recommended not to use this "feature". Python 3 disallows mixing the use of tabs and spaces for indentation. Replacing tabs with 4 spaces is the recommended approach for writing Python code .
