This is my error message:

File "news.py", line 52
def cleanup_html(self, data):
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

I originally had just feedparser. But, I added another part to the program to clean it up. I would have done away with feedparser, But, I did not know how to open the file and read the post without it. I just want it to open the url, read the file, say the description and ask if I want more, if I do, give me story number two. I am ignorant on about 80% of Python. I am going further slowly. P.S. I did not see a button to press to insert code. It stripped all of my indentions. But, they were at 5 and 10 and 15

The error message is pretty explicit. However if you don't use code tags that preserve indentation, we can't see what you do or don't do in that regard.

[b49P23TIvg]

Given rrashkin's observation, you certainly don't deserve an answer.

Your __init__ method is indented 5 spaces, your cleanup_html method 4 spaces. They don't agree. Use emacs because it will indent your code correctly for you, and besides it comes with a symbolic calculator, stupendous undo, and rectangle editing. The return statement of cleanup_html is indented wrong also. Your messy program won't run.

[yhmmc]

thank you for your info.

[yhmmc]

When I posted I sincerely did not see a place to do code tags. I looked all over. sorry. I will look into emacs. I am looking and I don't see any now.

I found the # button. I just wanted to say that I downloaded many versions of emacs. I could not get them working on my Linux system or my windows system. I am looking right now for an editor that will automatically space. And, I am downloading one that says it does syntax too. Once I get passed that hurdle, I may do better.

Thanks for all of your help. It takes me a little while to get the hang of stuff because I am extremely disabled. And, yes, I believe that I deserve knowing this information. I am trying my best to get a life instead of having Altzheimers and die a slow, painful death like my mother did. I am not Norman Bates because I mentioned Mother. I have a wife, five children and 17 grandbabies. I have two great-grand babies. Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Thanks for your help.

[b49P23TIvg]

best wishes.

Depending on which linux you've got, you'd just install emacs with which ever installer proper. For examples

sudo apt-get install emacs # ubuntu

yum install emacs # I forget the name of this distribution but I liked it.

[yhmmc]

I've got it working now,

Thank You.
