Function / Arguments / Error Help

[Ghosty]

Hello! I'm new to python... so i did a TCP Packet Sniffer to have an idea on how python is on hacking since i wanna to do anti-TCP Packet sniffers etc.
So i got a python code for sniffing ;D great right?...right??

Anyway, i modified it so it can be like beautiful and nit for the user. So i decide to put arguments like:

--sniff-tcp - Sniff TCP packets / Hosts
--sniff-arp - Sniff ARP packets

So i found this module called ArgParse or argparse or whatever xD i imported it and i did the code so i made a function which will start TCP sniffing
if the user puts --sniff-tcp but everytime i do it i get an error which is haunting me cause this error i have saw it ON EACH OF EVERY SCRIPT I DID EVEN COPIED FROM INTERNET...

File "sniffer.py", line 25
try:
^

IndentslError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

When i see this error i feel like getting a real python and burn it DOWN >:(

So here's my code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92

Can anyone please help me with this error?
And if anyone could tell me how to do easy and working arguments in python that could be AWESOME!

Lots of love!

your current code line#23 should be indented one more space

1 2	try:     s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_TCP)

But when i use my notepad that support all programming and scripting languages it puts me that much spaces...

argparse (that's python3) should do. Here is the official tutorial
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/argparse.html

if you don't mind installing external packages, you can try Click
http://click.pocoo.org/5/

here is link to snippsat's tutorial

Thanks so much but now i have

Error:
File "sniffer.py", line 23
   time.sleep(2)
   ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

:(

Obviously you deleted one space by incident - don't you see it's unaligned with the rest code on the same level?

well, pay more attention and fix the indentation... You had to add one (1) space to the line, that is immediately after try:

The thing is i'm new to python xD i don't really know what i did wrong.. i tried re-importing but nah....

Python is hard for me in some way

This code is python2. If you are new to python, start with python3, not python2.
