Hi guys,
I am working on a text based adventure game in Python and I am constantly getting this error:
There's an error in your program:

Hi guys,

Reindent your code, I think indention is lost near line 126.
1.indentation is bad
2. return
is outside a function
sorry Grib, that does not help. Any other ideas?
james lu, that's what the error tells me. I just don't get it
I seriously need help now!

The rule is very simple: every time there is a colon :
in python code, it is the beginning of a non empty indented block
def foo(): # <- see the colon here ?
bar() # <- this line is indented (preferably with 4 spaces)
baz() # <- this line too
qux() # <- not indented: this line is outside function foo.
or
if x == 0: # <- a colon
foo()
if y == 3.14: # <- a colon
bar()
else: # <- else has the same indentation as the corresponding if
baz()
qux()
else: # <- a colon
pass # <- a do-nothing statement to fill the else block
etc() # <- this line is not in a block
Read also this.
if it is indented, it means it's "With" anotther block of code.
you need to indent evry time there is a colon.If you've seen one already, double indent.
def foo(spam):
print "bar" #part of the function "foo"
print 5+4 #also part of "foo"
if spam:
print "eggs" #part of if and foo
if 1+1 == 20:
print"FAIL" #part of foo,if,if
elif 1+1 == "2":
print"FAIL" #part of foo if and elif
print" done with if" #part of if and foo
return 5 #part of foo and only foo
foo() #not part of foo because it isn't indented
