Obviously. As you know, in Python, indentation is signifiant.

I don't know. Perhaps you should ask the author ?

Mmm, let's see.... Posting on the wrong place, perhaps ?-)

Indeed.

Ok, since you ask for it : this is not the group for problems related to 
SPE.

You probably want the SPE mailing-list (if it exists), or whatever the 
project page offers as a mean of sending feedback to the author.

Python-related questions, even elementary ones (provided you at least 
took time to read the official tutorial), are of course welcome !-)
