We're trying to help, but we need to know more about the environment you're using to enter your code.
What operating system are you using? --- OSX Yosemite Version 10.10.2 How are you running the interactive interpreter? Are you using IDLE, or are you running Python in a command window? --- IDLE Are you typing code directly into the interactive interpreter, ---- Typing it directly into IDLE or are you typing it into a text editor and then copying and pasting it into the interpreter? If you're using a text editor, which one are you using? --- Not using a text editor What *exactly* are you typing on the keyboard to produce your indentation? Are you pressing the space bar, the tab key, or some combination of them? ---- Just the space bar, not the tab key gives too jumps in spaces that are too large for my liking.
