def cave():
global key
global response
print(''' You find yourself standing infront of a cave.
You venture into the cave to find a large door blocking
your path.
(insert key, turn around''')
response = input("Enter a command: ")
while response != 'insert key' or response != 'turn around':
if response =='insert key' or response == 'turn around':
break
print('Choose one of the options: ")

if response == 'insert key':

That's almost always caused by mixing tabs and spaces. Check your file contents with an editor that can show you this, such as by using :set list in vi.
But you may also want to look at this line:
print('Choose one of the options: ")
You're starting your string with one quote type and ending it with another, which is valid is neither Python 2 nor 3.
Once I'd fixed that and ensured that indentation was correct, it worked fine for me. I had to add a mainline that called cave() but it ran without error albeit not doing much useful since I don't have any of the rest of your code.
If you are using Notepade+ or VIM then check where is the tabs and space.
Also make sure that string you started must be end with same character. If you start with '(Single quote) then end with same.
print('Choose one of the options: ")
Ablove line start with ' but end with ". That will give you syntext error.
The indent block may cause by when you paste the code, before the code is 4 blanks (not in ascii), the python cannot read it , you can delete it and add a 'tab'.

This is the error message I got:
File "main.py", line 15
while True:
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
This is my full code:
import wikipedia
from colorama import Fore, Style, Back
y = input("tell me what you want ")
z = int(input("how many sentences "))
try:
text = wikipedia.summary(y, sentences=z)
print('')
print("---Text---")
print(text)
print("----------")
print(len(text.split()),"words.")
except:
print(Fore.RED + "ERROR)
while True:
print("\a")
Can you please explain why this is happening? I am using the Repl online ide.
The answer to this is that I was mixing up tabs and spaces. You shouldn't use both because this error can happen.
While coding in python, it's super important to pay attention to the way you indent. Of course you can either use tab or space, but always make sure you stick with one of them and not mixing them together.
Seems like you haven't done it this time. Delete the indentations and reindent them. Should work fine.

Solved: Thanks for your helps. i'm working dictionary and hash codes in one page, and there was a block problem. i thought, my logic is wrong but i checked all page, and i fixed blocks. its works fine right now.
Here's my problem:
d = {}
d['a'] = 'alpha'
d['b'] = 'beta'
missing_key = 'x' in d
if missing_key == True:
print ("The key, you are looking for was successfully found!")
else:
print ("The key, you are looking for was not found!")
print ("Here are keys in database:")
for k, r in enumerate(d.keys(), start=1)
print ("Key {}: {}".format(k, r))
that for condition works perfectly. but i cant run that if condition. Where am i doing wrong ? Thanks for your help.
Getting this error:
File "C:/Python/dictionary-hash.py", line 33
if missing_key == True:
IndentationError: unexpected indent
also i'm using "Python 3.6" and "Anaconda Spyder"
There's nothing wrong with the logic in your code. Since the error is an IndentationError, it must be because you're using inconsistent indentation on that if line. Make sure that the indentation on each line is consistent (using same number of spaces/tabs). Probably there is a space at the beginning of that line that is causing the error.

When I try to run my code it says I have invalid syntax with my else statement, but I can't figure out what's wrong.
import random
import time
username = input("Hello. Please enter your name, then press 'enter'.
After you type something, you will need to /n"
"click the 'enter' key to send it")
print ("Hello " + username)
time.sleep(3)
game_tutorial_input = input("Do you wish to see the tutorial? (y/n)")
if game_tutorial_input == "y":
print ("Great! Press enter after each instruction to move /n"
"onto the next one.")
else
print("Are you sure? (y/n")
indent matters in python , make sure the else is on the same indent column as the if. and as stated you need a : at the end of else.. ie, else:
Try 'else:'
I believe it's missing a colon.
indent out the else
add a colon to end of the else
Explanation:
else, if, elif, with etc.. are statements which need colons after the statement
add colon after else and indentation of else is wrong
if game_tutorial_input == "y":
print ("Great! Press enter after each instruction to move /n"
"onto the next one.")
else:
print("Are you sure? (y/n")

For some odd reason, my code won't work in Visual Studio on my laptop. It gives me errors on my script. Am I doing it wrong?
The errors I got were:
Can't assign to errorexpression --line 2
Unexpected indent --line 2
Unexpected token '<dedent>' --line 6
print("welcome user")
varpassword = input("Please enter a password: ")
if varpassword = "thisisthepassword123":
print("Welcome")
else:
print("access denied")
As others have pointed out your conditional statement should use the == operator (to indicate that you are comparing the two values to see if they're equal) instead of = that assigns the value to the variable.
if varpassword = "thisisthepassword123":
I just want to add that you should avoid using a hard-coded password value especially in python since it's plain text (unless this is just sample code to illustrate)
Edit:
Use a hashing algorithm to hash your password instead and then hash the user input and compare that. So you'll put the password through something like SHA1 or so (if you want to use a hard-coded value like "thisisthepassword123" it will have a value of f61c1bbcf1f7d68106a18bd753d4fc3c4925793f. So using a library like hashlib(https://docs.python.org/2/library/hashlib.html) you can do this:
import hashlib
hashlib.sha1(userinput).hexdigest()
Also consider using salting, read this: https://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm
Edit 2:
Also make sure that your indentation in your script matches the indentation of your code snippet
please add == to compare = is use to assign

name = str(input("Whats your name?: "))
if name is 'Chris':
print("Hello, " + name)
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block
So this error shows up right beneath the "t" in print. I have tried putting a space after it, like so:
print ("Hello, " + name)
But that didn't work either. Anyone know what I should be doing differently?
I am using this in the Python command window as opposed to Sublime which I usually use, because it doesn't seem to read the input that is typed in.
Do it like this:
name = str(input("Whats your name?: "))
if name == 'Chris':
print("Hello, " + name)
You had an extra " mark after name. Also, you want == not is; is is for determining if two objects are identical, meaning, the literal same object.
Unless you're doing something more advanced, you'll typically only use is to compare with None:
if variable is None:
print("No value provided for variable!")
Also, make sure that you use the same number of spaces to indent each block of code. If you use 4 spaces, and 3 spaces somewhere else, you'll get an IndentationError.
