From the tutorial, https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

3.2. First Steps Towards Programming:

The body of the loop is indented: indentation is Python’s way of grouping 
statements. At the interactive prompt, you have to type a tab or space(s) for 
each indented line. In practice you will prepare more complicated input for 
Python with a text editor; all decent text editors have an auto-indent 
facility. When a compound statement is entered interactively, it must be 
followed by a blank line to indicate completion (since the parser cannot guess 
when you have typed the last line). Note that each line within a basic block 
must be indented by the same amount.
