IndentationError: expected an indented block

[pokervalkyrie]

Hi guys,

I am trying to run a basic script in atom (installed python-ide-terminal) with if , but get indentation error. i have also installed python indent. Going crazy trying to figure out where is the mistake. Please, help! :-/

I'm pretty sure that python-indent wouldn't cause this error.

I tried typing what you have here in my own file, and it worked fine. Have you tried running the file outside of Atom (e.g. in a terminal)? Could it be that you're using an older Python version and it doesn't like the Python 3 version of print("something") vs just print "something"?

@DSpeckhals,

Thank you for the reply and the suggestion! It is exactly what I tried to do just before you wrote this - used Studio Visual Code- and it works perfectly! However, still doesn't solve the issue in Atom- everything seems up to date and using the latest Python version. Tried different print versions , same error.

Maybe you wrote it before installing the package? It happened to me, I thought the package would resolve the indentation error of an existing code I wrote but apparantly it only helps when you write new code.. That's a feature I'd like the creator to add btw
