indendation error

[km]

Hi all,

i create a class as below :

#!/usr/bin/python -W

class Point:

def __init__(self, x = 0, y = 0):
self.x = x
self.y = y

def __str__(self):
print '(' + str(self.x) + str(self.y) + ')'

def __add__(self,ot her):
return Point(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)


but it emits an indendation error -- i tried to fix it but in vain --
and the error message was :

File "script.py" , line 6
self.x = x
^
IndentationErro r: expected an indented block

kindly enlighten hwo to fix this --
it will be great if someone can direct me to an online link regarding the rules of indendation.

thanks,
KM

Don't mix tabs and spaces in your code, use either tabs OR spaces.

PEP 8 is the "Style Guide for Python Code" and is available here:

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html

Indentation and other code layout issues are addressed in the third section.
From personal experience, 99% of the Python code I've seen uses 4 spaces
per indent, and no TAB characters.
