IndentationError: unexpected unindent WHY?

Question

IndentationError: unexpected unindent WHY???

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
class Seq:
    def __init__(self, id, adnseq, colen):
        self.id     = id
             


        

Answer 1

It's because you have:

def readTTable(fname):
    try:

without a matching except block after the try: block. Every try must have at least one matching except.

See the Errors and Exceptions section of the Python tutorial.

Answer 2

This error could actually be in the code preceding where the error is reported. See the For example, if you have a syntax error as below, you'll get the indentation error. The syntax error is actually next to the "except" because it should contain a ":" right after it.

try:
    #do something
except
    print 'error/exception'


def printError(e):
    print e

If you change "except" above to "except:", the error will go away.

Good luck.

Answer 3

@MaxPython The answer above is missing ":"

try:
   #do something
except:
  # print 'error/exception'

def printError(e): print e

Answer 4

you didn't complete your try statement. You need and except in there too.
