Try except syntax error

Dear all,
I am new to python and trying to get a try...except part of a code to work but I always get an "invalid syntax" error
this part of the code should read 2 files and if the user does not include the 2 files in his command line the except message will appear saying "please enter 2 file names, they were not entered properly" and exits.
I am using Python 3.2
the code is:

Code:

import sys, math
try:
    r=input("where is file1") ; z = input("where is file2?")
    except:
        print("please enter 2 file names, they were not entered properly"); sys.exit(1)

Indentation trouble!

Code:

import sys, math
try:
    r = input("where is file1")
    z = input("where is file2?")
except:
    print("please enter 2 file names, they were not entered properly")
    sys.exit(1)

The semi-colons were okay. I removed them anyway.

As it says b49P23TIvg, you must be careful with the indentation.

PHP Code:


		
			
try:

    # --- Some Code ----

except:

    # --- More Code --- 

finally:

    # --- More Code ---

etc.
