Autoindent error

[Ruchika]

Hi,

I started writing Python scripts just today and seem to almost always
get the "Autoindent error". Can anyone tell me what this problem is?
Am I not doing something right? Do we need to follow some indentation
guidelines when wrting Python scripts?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ruchika,

Welcome to Python!

I started writing Python scripts just today and seem to almost always
get the "Autoindent error".

I suspect you mean IndentationError?

Before you continue struggling with very fundamental Python issues,
please take the time at least to work through the Python Tutorial
(http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html). Or get yourself a good
introductory Python book (e.g. Learning Python, Second Edition
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596002815/).

If you take some time to read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.htm, it will also save you
and everyone else some time.

Regards,
