all versions of python fail to indent after conditional statement

[Russell]

I would recommend reading a book that introduces and explains Python
rather than just diving in. I'm been enjoying "Introducing Python:
Modern Computing in Simple Packages" which can be found at
https://amzn.com/1492051365. It started from the beginning and would
answer the questions/difficulties you've raised here. It would help set
you on your quest to master Python.
