python unable to identify else statements

Question

from requests import *
import json
import base64
import urllib
from cmd import Cmd

url = "http://api.response.htb/"
url_digest = "cab532f75001ed2cc94ada92183d2160319a328e67001a9215956a5dbf10c545"


def get(url, url_digest): data = {
    "url": url,
    "url_digest": url_digest,
    "method": "GET",
    "session": "5f7bf45b02c832cf5b40c15ab6d365af",
    "session_digest": "a2b9ac69ab85795d13d12857a709a024cd729dcdf2c3fd3bb21ed514bc9990ac"
}


headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
url_proxy = "http://proxy.response.htb/fetch"
s = Session()
res = s.post(url_proxy, json=data, headers=headers)
body = json.loads(res.text)['body']
body = base64.b64decode(body)
if "zip" in url:
    f = open("file.zip", "wb")
f.write(body)
f.close()
print("Done saving file :-");

else: print body


def url_de(url):
    s = Session()


res = s.get('http://www.response.htb/status/main.js.php',
            cookies={'PHPSESSID': url})
x = res.text.find("session_digest':'")
y = res.text.find("'};")
return res.text[x+17:y]


class pr(Cmd):
    prompt = "==> "


def default(self, url): url_digest = url_de(url)


get(url, url_digest)
def do_exit(self, a): exit()


pr().cmdloop()

Answer 1

Indentation is significant in Python.

You have one line after your if indented, then lines which are not indented. This means the conditional is finished. You then have an else by itself, which is not permitted.

You likely meant:

if "zip" in url:
    f = open("file.zip", "wb")
    f.write(body)
    f.close()
    print("Done saving file :-");
else: 
    print(body)

But this would be improved by using a context manager:

if "zip" in url:
    with open("file.zip", "wb") as f:
        f.write(body)
    print("Done saving file :-");
else: 
    print(body)

Answer 2

This is your code scope

Just indent 28-30 and 38-43 line, then part 1,2 will into if scope part 3,4 into func scope
