In every code snipet, I see different problems. Some of then I am not
sure how you achieved...

this works for me:

>>> a=0
>>> b=1
>>> while b < 1000:
...     print b
...     a,b = b,a+b
1
1
2
3
5
8
13
21
34
55
89
144
233
377
610
987

This one looks pretty good, but you should not have a comma after the
'print b'

You need a ':'

Like the error says, you need some indentation after the '...'

What happened to your indent prompt?!?!

Not sure why you got an indentation error, but you should not have the
comma after the 'print b' again.

no comma, again.
