Try getting rid of the empty line after def get_bic(catname) : and avoid mixing tabs and spaces in your indentations.

@Dimitar_Venkov , thanks for answer but i try its (( but its no work …

only with extra def its work (im dont why… must be more simpe solution… ) :

import clr, System
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *


def try_except_cats(x):
	
   	try:
   		cat = Revit.Elements.Category.ById(ElementId(x).IntegerValue).ToString()	
   	except:
		cat=None #"INVALID or another without BuiltInCategory element " 
	return cat
	
	
def get_cats(catname):
	
	bics_names=[[i, try_except_cats(i)] for i in System.Enum.GetValues(BuiltInCategory)]
 	bics=[i[0] for i in bics_names]
 	names=[i[1] for i in bics_names]
	ost=[i for i, b in zip(names, bics) if catname == str(b)]    	    
	return  ost[0] 

 
OUT = get_cats(IN[0])

It’s clearly indentations as error says…
