Python uses indentation to seperate code blocks and will throw an
error if it finds inconsistancies. In your example else is indented
while it sould not be.
There is also a second error in the code. If you have an else you need
to do something in the else block. Below is a working version.
>>> i = 5
>>> j = 7
>>> if i <= j:
print 'Nudge nudge'
else:
print 'Icecream'
Nudge nudge
I know it looks weird in idle as the original if i <= j is to the
right of the else but both are *not* indented.
