In Python indentation matters.  And it needs to be consistent within a block.  The python interpreter is telling you 
that you should have started an indented block at the while but there is no indented block.  Do a search for a python 
tutorial on the web or go to http://www.python.org and I think there is a link to a tutorial.

Do you have the original of the script?  It should have the correct indentation.  I've also indented it correctly above.
