When I tried to execute the script I found two mistakes

"Whoops, this is never seen'
which begin with a double quote and end with simple quote

*else
which don't end with a colon  (should be else:)
*
but I did not found indentation error


I suspect that the else is not above the if
(It seems can be happen if you merge tabs and spaces for example)
