Python Spaces 4
Adjust it by clicking on the number or "Spaces" to change to "Tab" (but don't because spaces are preferred!)
What does yours say?

11,151 PointsMine says spaces 2, however this seems to only apply to the script, not the console.

ipython
, but it is not installed. You can install it using:Fred Sites

11,151 PointsGotcha, I thought there would be no indent in console but confused as he seemed to indent no problem in the video. I figured it'd be built in for ease of use/following along as there is no mention of it in the video. I guess he was just spacing. Thanks Chris!
