When I try to follow along with the code in this lesson, the workspace does not correctly indent (or rather, out-dent) the except block. No amount of manual jiggering of spacing will allow it to run.
This is what it looks like:
user_string = input("What's your word? ")
user_num = input("What's your number? ")
try:
our_num = int(user_num)
except:
If I adjust the spacing manually and continue, I get this error when trying to run:
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
