Code Tags don't work for Python code formating

[dejohnny]

I'm trying to format Python code correctly using the code tags but, it doesn't work. Python code uses special indentation after the def expression, but as you can see, everything is being pushed to the left (left-justified). Is there another way to do this?


def find_last(searched, target):
      first_pos = searched.find(target)
      size = len(searched)
      print size
      last_pos =1
      while last_pos <= size:
           #first_pos = searched.find(target)
             start_char = searched.find(target, first_pos)
             last_pos = searched.find(target, start_char + 1)
             last_pos += last_pos
             print last_pos
   
      return last_pos

           

print find_last('aaaa','a')

replace the spaces with

Since Python is very specific about the amount of indentation, also be very careful when copying code, and use an editor that will format indents correctly (I have only used emacs for writing python).

Thanks a lot for that explanation. I'll use the space markup ( ).
