Hello,

I am getting this error:

Error:

I took the code from this website:

I am trying for hours to fix the problem without any success. Do you see the error??

I have already forked Python to have proper { } blocks and get rid of this fancy indentation rules. If there is anybody interested I can make my git become public or share the diff file. To be clear, the forked version can still continue to work on indented-style files, you can just decide every time you open a statement if you want to use the indent-style or { }.
