"Expected an indented block" means that the indicated line should have  
started with at least one whitespace character more than the preceding  
line.

  >>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
  ... soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")

should have been something like

  >>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
  ...     soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
