The print statement doesn't line up with the return statement, and it 
doesn't line up with the def statement.  Those are the only two valid 
indentations.  I expect you intended these lines to begin at the left 
margin, and the two spaces are going to be a problem.

This is true for every version of Python.  However, there is one 
difference about indentation that I know of:  starting in version 3, 
mixing tabs and spaces is an explicit error instead of just a really 
stupid idea.

Next time, please include the actual error message, which was probably 
about 4 lines long.  It would make things much easier.
