I try to write python scripts for stirrup create by curves and shape but got Unexpected indent warning

These are my scripts

#Function
def stirrup(x1, y1, b, h, cover, shape, type, host, norm):
    nx1 = x1 - (b / 2) + cover
    nx2 = x1 + (b / 2) - cover
    ny1 = y1 - (h / 2) + cover
    ny2 = y1 + (h / 2) - cover
    nz1 = 0
    point_list = []

	    #Create Point

	    pt3 = XYZ(nx2, ny2, nz1)
	    pt4 = XYZ(nx1, ny2, nz1)
	    #Create Point List
	    point_list.append(pt1)
	    point_list.append(pt2)

	    stirrup1 = Rebar.CreateFromCurvesAndShape(doc, shape, type, shook, ehook, host, norm, curve1, left, left)
	    stirrup_list.append(stirrup1)
	    #End
	    TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
    return stirrup_list

pointx = IN[0]
pointy = IN[1]
width = IN[2]
height = IN[3]
covering = IN[4]
rebarshape = UnwrapElement(IN[5])
rebartype = UnwrapElement(IN[6])
element = UnwrapElement(IN[7])
vector = IN[8]

stirrup_list = []

result = stirrup(pointx[0], pointy[0], width[0], height[0], covering[0], rebarshape[0], rebartype[0], element[0], vector[0])

OUT = stirrup_list

When I run these code it show this error unexpected indent and I can’t find the cause of this error.

Rebar.CreateFromCurvesAndShape(Document, RebarShape, RebarBarType, RebarHookType (Start Hook), RebarHookType (End Hook), Element, XYZ (norm), IList<Curves>, RebarHookOrientation (Start), RebarHookOrientation (End))

This function I try to get RebarHookType (Start Hook) and RebarHookType (End Hook) information from rebar type family, am I using the right scripts? I mean in my rebar type family already have hook type and I try to get that name in form of string and use this name to later get hook type family. For Hook Orientation only accept input is either left or right, can I just type it directly like this?

stirrup1 = Rebar.CreateFromCurvesAndShape(doc, shape, type, shook, ehook, host, norm, curve1, left, left)

no matter what I try it still show Unexpected indent error.

To find these I often find the most likely way is to comment out every line from bottom to top, excepting the ‘out’ line, until you stop getting the warning. Running your code periodically as you write it also helps prevent them as you’ll know which line has the error.

Thank you for advise, I hv found my error. It actually pretty simple but I just cant detect it in a chunk pile of code together.

Hi, I exactly give these 10 overloads (doc, shape, type, shook, ehook, host, norm, curve1, left, left) in Rebar.CreateFromCurvesAndShape() but I am getting null. I dont know why is that happening can anybody help me
