Python list contents error

Question

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
for x in os.listdir("/home/"):
print x

error: File "./p1", line 4 print x ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block

Python 2.7.12

that could be an `IndentationError` in line 4. at the `print` statement. where there should be an 'indented block', just what the error message states. what is unclear about that? — hiro protagonist, Feb 14 '18 at 13:17
What is unclear about that error? You didn't indent `print x` — UnholySheep, Feb 14 '18 at 13:17
python is exactly telling you that in line 4, the instruction `print x` has an indentation error. It cannot be more specific — Sembei Norimaki, Feb 14 '18 at 13:18
@LightnessRacesinOrbit I replaced the target with a more relevant one. — PM 2Ring, Feb 14 '18 at 13:27

You need to indent your code properly:

import os
for x in os.listdir("/home/"):
    print x
