And therin lies your syntax error. "from distutils.core import setup" 
cannot be indented since Python uses indentation for delimiting code 
blocks. "from" is part of the main block. Indenting it is causing the 
syntax error. That's why the carrot in the traceback is pointing to the 
space before "from" as well.
