IndentationError: unexpected indent

[dee]

The following is the class that received the IndentationError: unexpected indent. I got the error when "from reader.reader import Reader". Which indent is not supposed to? Thanks.

 class Reader: def __init__(self, filename): self.filename = filename self.f = open(self.filename, 'rt') def close(self): self.f.close() def read(self): return self.f.read()

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "...\Python Project\venv\Main.py", line 1, in <module> from reader.reader import Reader File "...\Python Project\venv\reader.py", line 1 class Reader: IndentationError: unexpected indent

Added code tag in your post,look at BBCode on how to use.
You have 1 space before class Reader,there should be 0 space.

Please post your code in python tags.

Copy and paste likely fixed the error because I have no problems. It could be a mix of tabs and spaces. All indentation should be 4 spaces. My editor sees your indentation as 3 spaces for the first level (def's) and 4 spaces for the second level. That is bad, but usually not a syntax error.

Thanks. It is working now.
