i wrote these programs and saved them per instructions on page 128 and 129
in the book "python in easy steps".

class Person:
    '''A base class to define Person properties.'''
    def__init__(self,name):
        self.name = name
    def speak( self,msg = '(Calling The Base Class)'):
        print(self.name,msg)

from Person import*
    '''A derived class to define Man properties.'''
class Man(Person):
    def speak(self,msg):
        print(self.name,':\n\tHello!',msg)

from Person import*
    '''A derived class to define Hombre properties.'''
class Hombre(Person):
    def speak(self,msg):
        print(self.name,':\n\tHola!',msg)

from Man import*
from Hombre import*
guy_1 = Man('Richard')
guy_2 = Hombre('Ricardo')
guy_1.speak('It\'s a beautiful evening.\n')
guy_2.speak('Es una tarde hermosa.\n')
Person.speak(guy_1)
Person.speak(guy_2)

i ran the program override.py and get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/override.py", line 1, in <module>
    from Man import*
  File "/home/chris/scripts/Man.py", line 2
    '''A derived class to define Man properties.'''
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
