x = 3
if x == 0:
  print 'x == 0'
elif x != 0:
  print 'x != 0'

x != 0

The block of code under 'if x...' is indented.  Most people use 4 spaces.
You can use any number of spaces, but you need to be consistant
The elif indentation must match its matching if statement.  In this case
neither are indented
The block which executes under the elif is indented to the same level as
that under the original if
