[BangPypers] IndentationError: expected an indented block

[Pradeep Gowda]

(resending reply to the list.. )

Python uses indentation for blocks
your code has uneven indentation(1 space?) and no indentation in some places.

You have to indent code correctly. Use FOUR spaces for indentation.

eg:
 if len(args) == 0:
 print "Fatal: no indication type provided."
 sys.exit(1)

should read:
 if len(args) == 0:
    print "Fatal: no indication type provided."
    sys.exit(1)

If you are copying this code off a webpage(I say this because I see a
IBM copyright at the top), look for a "raw source" version of the
same, which retains the indentation.
