Look at the lines above the line where you added your comment. Why are they indented so far? The issue is inconsistent indentation. You need all the code that belongs to the function indented the same unless it belongs to a nested block of code. I see inconsistent indentation throughout your code. Decide on 2 or 4 spaces, and use that number for each indented block.
