import another program as module

Question

i searched my problem on stack and i didt find the solution so i come here to asking u about that .im learnin python with the book 'OReilly.Introducing.Python' and in chapter 5 in module section .the author says u can save a program and use in in another program as module when the 2 programs are saved in 1 directory. this is the fist program using as module. report.py

def get_description(): # see the docstring below?
"""Return random weather, just like the pros"""
    from random import choice
    possibilities = ['rain', 'snow', 'sleet', 'fog', 'sun', 'who knows']
    return choice(possibilities)

and the main program is this :

import report
description = report.get_description()
print("Today's weather:", description)

its a simple program i know when i want to import that it apears with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "H:\\python\\Lib\\weather.py", line 1, in import report File "H:\\python\\Lib\\report.py", line 2 """Return random weather, just like the pros""" ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block

i tried to change directory and copy that to lib folder or scripts and this is my sys.path: H:\\python\\Lib C:\\Windows\\System32 H:\\python\\Lib\\idlelib H:\\python\\python35.zip H:\\python\\DLLs H:\\python\\lib H:\\python H:\\python\\lib\\site-packages

Just as the error says, you must ident the docstring:

def get_description(): # see the docstring below?
    """Return random weather, just like the pros"""
    from random import choice
    possibilities = ['rain', 'snow', 'sleet', 'fog', 'sun', 'who knows']
    return choice(possibilities)
