Don't worry about it. I'm sure everyone passed over this before.
The identation errors are errors in the tabulation of a line
Let's take your code in example
>number=78
>guess=0
>
>while guess != number:
> guess=input ("Guess a number:")
> if guess > number:
> print "Too High"
> elif guess < number:
> print "Too low"
The last line has to belong to the elif clause, right?
so if you are working with a single tab or 4 spaces (default identation in
Python) that means that for every loop statement, try , functions, classes
or any line that ends with ":", the next line has to be 4 spaces forward.
And all the lines that belong to the statement also. It does not matter if
is a nested sequence. Let me lighten you:
for i in somelist:
do_something
do_something_else
if x==y:
inside the if clause
all statements go
with 4 spaces after the if line
elif x>y:
the same here
You ended an identation when you went back the spaces and typed elif so you
don't acumulate the identations, you just keep using 4 spaces after the line
with the ":" so Python knows what's inside and what's outside
I hope to be clear, and if you don't understand it (probably because of my
English) you can always read in the tutorial or in the Python help
