Nevermind figured it out

you have to listen to the syntax error, if you forgot an indent, then it means you need indentations somewhere. im not exactly sure where but try moving the if statement over 4 spaces

For future posts, it is easiest for the rest of us to see what exactly went wrong if you copy your code & paste it into a web service like dpaste or codepad. Then you can provide the link to your code. Just make sure you choose "python" as your language. http://dpaste.com/ http://codepad.org/ http://ideone.com/ My personal favorites are codepad & ideone because they will run your program and print any output or errors.
