Yes, Python is somewhat peculiar to use whitespace for grouping. A great deal has been written on this subject already. In general, it rather alarms and disturbs newcomers to the language who are already expert in Java, C, Ruby, …–then those who “stick it out” and continue to use Python often come to *prefer* this syntax.

Can you point me to this video you refer to?

You’re almost there. Python is outside the mainstream in that “whitespace is significant”; unlike languages like C, Java, JavaScript, …, Python cares, for instance, about how many spaces appear at the start of a line of code. Your line #29 is ” def startAction …”, with a single space before the ‘def’. You’ll find happier results with “def startAction …”

You’re going to need to touch up ” def stopAction …” in a similar fashion, along with the global-level segment which follows it.

I’ll explain more when I’m able to return to the keyboard.
