Getting error after declaration of a function "IndentationError: expected an indented block&quo-CodePudding

I have written this code and got an error

from lxml.html import fromstring
def get_proxies():
   url = 'https://free-proxy-list.net/'
response = requests.get(url)
parser = fromstring(response.text)
proxies = set()
for i in parser.xpath('//tbody/tr')[:10]:
    if i.xpath('.//td[7][contains(text(),"yes")]'):
#Grabbing IP and corresponding PORT
    proxy = ":".join([i.xpath('.//td[1]/text()')[0], i.xpath('.//td[2]/text()')[0]])
proxies.add(proxy)
    return proxies

And the Error is

  File "check.py", line 13
    return proxies
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

Unable to understand the error but maybe the line spacing has something to do with this

CodePudding user response：

You have poor indentation.

import requests
from lxml.html import fromstring

def get_proxies():
    url = 'https://free-proxy-list.net/'
    response = requests.get(url)
    parser = fromstring(response.text)
    proxies = set()
    for i in parser.xpath('//tbody/tr')[:10]:
        if i.xpath('.//td[7][contains(text(),"yes")]'):
            #Grabbing IP and corresponding PORT
            proxy = ":".join([i.xpath('.//td[1]/text()')[0], i.xpath('.//td[2]/text()')[0]])
            proxies.add(proxy)
    return proxies

CodePudding user response：

Python is senstive to tabs and you forget to import requests package:

from lxml.html import fromstring
import requests

def get_proxies():
    url = 'https://free-proxy-list.net/'
    response = requests.get(url)
    parser = fromstring(response.text)
    proxies = set()
    for i in parser.xpath('//tbody/tr')[:10]:
        if i.xpath('.//td[7][contains(text(),"yes")]'):
        #Grabbing IP and corresponding PORT
            proxy = ":".join([i.xpath('.//td[1]/text()')[0], i.xpath('.//td[2]/text()')[0]])
            proxies.add(proxy)
    return proxies
