Indentation Error in Python

Question

I can't compile because of this part in my code:

if command == 'HOWMANY':
    opcodegroupr = "A0"
    opcoder = "85"
elif command == 'IDENTIFY':
    opcodegroupr = "A0"
    opcoder = "81"

I have this error:

Sorry: IndentationError: ('unindent does not match any outer indentation level', ('wsn.py', 1016, 30, "\t\telif command == 'IDENTIFY':\n"))

But I don't see any indentation error. What can be the problem?

Answer 1

This has happened with me too, python is space sensitive, so after " : "(colon) you might have left a space,
for example: [space is represented by "."]

`if command == 'HOWMANY':.
     opcodegroupr = "A0"
     opcoder = "85"
 elif command == 'IDENTIFY':.
     opcodegroupr = "A0"
     opcoder = "81"`

so try removing the unnecessary spaces,if you open it in IDE your cursor will be displayed away from ":" something like :- "if command == 'HOWMANY': |"
....whereas it should be:- "if command == 'HOWMANY':| "
