That error involves the previous program line, which your screenshot
doesn't show, so it's hard to say exactly what the problem is.

However, I'll take a guess that the previous line is an "if" statement,
which requires that the following line be indented.  Did you indent the
print statement?

This error can also be caused by using a mix of tabs and spaces on the
same line.  Don't do that.

(And by the way, it's generally better to post errors and code as text
instead of a screenshot.)

Without the code, we can't much help. But look at line 3 - it probably
has an if, while, or for statement. Did you write python.py? Did you
copy and paste it from somewhere? If the latter, make sure you retain
indentation, as it's important to Python - and it's not always
possible to figure out how far things should be indented otherwise.

If python.py isn't very large, you'd do well to simply include its
content in-line here. Including the full traceback (as text, not as an
image) is also extremely helpful. In a few years, this list/newsgroup
thread will be being read by hundreds or thousands of people, not all
of whom will want to click web links to figure out what you're saying
- and that's assuming imgur is still holding your image, which I'm not
sure is guaranteed. Text is reliable!
