It's self-explanatory. There's an error in the indentation; Python was
expecting an indented block, but didn't get one.

Fix the indentation. As you probably know, in Python, indentation is
syntactically significant information to both the programmer and to
the interpreter. If that information is lost, Python can't know what
was meant, and refuses to guess.

Probably something has mangled the white-space in the program
file. Either fix it manually, or go back to a more canonical form of
the file and see if it's been altered.
