Question

I’m so sick of Django. I wrote a Python Function which is working correct.
For reasons of visualizations I decided to make a web-page to demonstrate my function.

I added some code to my function:

txt_len = 0          (line 1)
if text:
    txt_len=len(text)

return txt_len  

*it’s only a example.
But for a reason I get an IndentationError ,unexpected indent at line 1

Why? can’t get it.

Answer 1

Let’s see the whole function? Line 1 is just for example right? Line 1 would at the very least have to be a function definition for that return line to work.

Did you just paste a function into a django view?

The culprit for mystery indentation errors is almost always mixing spaces and tabs. Do you have invisible characters visible in your editor? Can you run a command to replace tabs with spaces?
