Cannot run this python script from the command line $SPUNK_HOME/bin/scripts, can someone tell me why?

Here is the error:

$ python distance_two_IPs.py 20, 21, 45, 25
  File "distance_two_IPs.py", line 14
    yDistance = (lat2 - lat1) * nauticalMilePerLat
            ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

I tried to cut and past the script here, but it displayed without line-brakes. So I here is the link:

Just as it says, you need to indent the code within the calcDistance function. Python uses indentation instead of curly brackets.
