Dear Peter Otten,
I typed in (and did not copy and paste) the code as you suggested just
now (6.28 pm, Sunday 12th July 2015), this is the result I got:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
... soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
File "<stdin>", line 2
soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block
soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'f' is not defined
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first time I typed in the second line, I got the
"Indentation error"
the second time I typed in exactly the same code, I got the:
"NameError:name 'f' is not defined"
"Expected an indented block" means that the indicated line should have
started with at least one whitespace character more than the preceding
line.
>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
... soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
should have been something like
>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
... soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
