Python Forum - Need help with a script (indentation)

Hi.

Im setting up my raspberry pi for mailbox alert(push notification to my phone), and have problems with a python / pyrowl script.
Can someone help me with indentations on this? Sorry for my english

#!/bin/usr/bin/python

#Imports for Pyrowl
from pyrowl import pyrowl
from pprint import pprint
import os

#Imports for GPIO
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

#Setup pyrowl with API key
p = none
p = pyrowl("MY API KEY")

#Setup GPIO pin as input
#Check that this is the same pin you have your switch input plugged into!
GPIO.setup (15, GPIO.IN)

#Set initial state
previousstate = GPIO.input(15)

#Main loop	while True:
#Check that this is the same pin you have your switch input plugged into!
mybutton = GPIO.input(15)
if mybutton != previousstate:
	if mybutton == True:
		print "Du har post :)"
res = p.push("Min Raspberry Pi", 'Advarsel', 'Luke Lukket', batch_mode=False)
	else:
print "Du har post :)"
res = p.push("Min Raspberry Pi", 'Advarsel', 'Luke Lukket', batch_mode=False)

previousstate = mybutton
#Print result if you like
#pprint(res)
time.sleep(.2)

I'm assuming the indentation problems are with the if clause starting on line 27. But lines 28 & 29 (the if portion?) and lines 31 & 32 (the else portion?) are the same. So why do you have that if clause?

res on line 4 brings you out of the first if statement so else from second if(line 2) shouldn't do anything. is that intentional?

Its not intentional. Im just wandering a bit in the dark here.

1. Install visual studio code. it's a very light and breezy code editor. if the python extension isn't installed go to extensions and (Ctrl + Shift + x) and search for it. open the script right click on the text and press format document( it'll require additional module; all you have to do is hit install if it asks )

2. install JetBrains Pycharm (Community edition is free) and open the file in the ide. it'll point out every indentation and whitespace mistake after a few seconds.

Thnx. I will test it out :)

Can look at VS Code from start.
There is a post about Format code.

You saying i should delete one of them? im a bit blank on this. I found this code online, and edited it a bit.

The code I am talking about looks like the indentation should be this:

if mybutton != previousstate:
    if mybutton == True:
        print "Du har post :)"
        res = p.push("Min Raspberry Pi", 'Advarsel', 'Luke Lukket', batch_mode=False)
    else:
        print "Du har post :)"
        res = p.push("Min Raspberry Pi", 'Advarsel', 'Luke Lukket', batch_mode=False)

However, that code doesn't make sense. That code is totally equivalent to this code:

if mybutton != previousstate:
    print "Du har post :)"
    res = p.push("Min Raspberry Pi", 'Advarsel', 'Luke Lukket', batch_mode=False)

So I am totally not clear on what this code is supposed to do. Without that clarity, I can't really solve the problem.

Seems to be happy with indents now. Thnx all for help :)
Its for sending a push notification through prowl api server when pin 15 and ground are connected on my RPi.

#!/bin/usr/bin/python

# Imports for Pyrowl
from pyrowl import Pyrowl
from pprint import pprint
import os

# Imports for GPIO
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

# Setup pyrowl with API key
p = None
p = Pyrowl("4f9b21b6b3cdf3cf41xxxxxxxxxxxx")

# Setup GPIO pin as input
# Check that this is the same pin you have your switch input plugged into!
GPIO.setup(15, GPIO.IN)


# Set initial state
previousstate = GPIO.input(15)

# Main loop
while True:
    # Check that this is the same pin you have your switch input plugged into!
       mybutton = GPIO.input(15)
if mybutton != previousstate:
    if mybutton == True:
        print "Door opened"
        res = p.push("My Raspberry Pi", 'House Warning','Door opened', batch_mode=False)
    else:
        print "Door closed"
        res = p.push("My Raspberry Pi", 'House Warning','Door closed', batch_mode=False)

previousstate = mybutton
# Print result if you like
# pprint(res)
time.sleep(.2)

Nothing happens when i run python ./1.py
Its like its loading. But i guess i should ask on a raspberry forum for that matter :)
