What you are actually doing is "if the method returns

The block below for k... needs more indentation and
The final print needs yet another level of indentation...

Could you be more specific? What kind of grief?
Error messages? Then send the full message here.
Your computer crashes?
It doesn't print a message you expected?

While you are at it which Python version and OS are you using?
