 IndentationError: expected an indented block

I got this code on the Internet.Thanks

Answer 1

Looks like you indented twice on that line. Instead indent on_data() the same way as it is done for on_error() (that is, 4 spaces for one level of indentation).

Answer 2

Seems like you are using uneven indentation, I can see 8 spaces in these lines -

def on_data(self, data):
        print data
        return True

where as only 4 in line -

def on_error(self, status):
    print status

I am guessing you have more code where you are using 4 spaces for one level of indentation.

You should use constant amount of spaces for indentation throughout your code. I would advice you to try changing the indentation of the function to 4 spaces and check if that fixes your issue.
