Jonas, he's talking about the quoted content that Google Groups includes 
in your messages.  Some people find this extremely aggravating.

As for your code, you should actually give it much more space:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import math

# Function definition is here
def sq(number):
       square = 1
       factor = 2
       multip = exponent * exponent # not sure why exponent is accessed globally..
       print(x, "= ", end="")

       while number >= multip:
          while square <= number:
             factor += 1
             square = factor * factor
          factor -= 1	
          print(factor, "^", exponent, "+", sep="", end="")
          number -= factor*factor
          square = 1
          factor = 1

       print(number)

# Set exponent here
exponent = 3
print("Exp=x^", exponent, sep="")

# Set range of numbers x
for x in range (1, 100):
       sq(x)
