Without seeing the actual code, it's hard to say. But you need to learn 
to read the error message: it says you have unexpectedly unindented 
(outdented). My guess is you've done something like this:

if something:
    line indented with 4 spaces
  line indented with 2 spaces


You need to indent consistently. Set your editor to always use 4 spaces 
for indents. If you can't do that, then get a better editor, or use a 
single tab instead of four spaces.

Some people will say don't use tabs. I say phooey to them. It's better 
to use tabs than to have inconsistent indentation.
