It looks like your script is stripping out all the indentation when
it writes the lines back. Indentation is syntactically significant
in Python, so you need to preserve it.

My suggestions:

1. Don't strip the lines.

2. When you find the 'siteip = ' line, instead of constructing
a whole new line, replace the part after '=' with the new siteip,
so that you keep whatever indentation the line had before.
