Line 12:
* In Windows Vista or Windows 7, click on the Start menu, type ''Notepad++'' in the Search Field, and hit enter.
* In Windows XP, click on the Start menu, navigate to All Programs, and then navigate to Notepad++.
== Configure Notepad++ to indent with spaces ==
* Click Settings -> Preferences
* Find the tab labeled "Language Menu/Tab Settings"
* Find the box labeled "Replace by space", and make sure it is '''checked'''
* Click Close.
That's it! Now, you can hit tab to indent your code, and that indentation will actually be made of spaces. This change will help you use spaces consistently, so that Python doesn't get confused about whitespace.
== Success! ==
