IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

[Frillian]

Hi, when I run this command 'python DBSCAN-SWA-master/bin/dbscan-swa.py --h' and then:
File "/home/lfb/Public/Lfb/pha/DBSCAN-SWA-master/bin/dbscan-swa.py", line 2761
global diamond_thread_num
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
How do I solve this problem? Thanks

I'm no python expert but looks like there's an error in the file dbscan-swa.py
Got to line 2761 in dbscan-swa.py with the text "global diamond_thread_num" and replace the spaces at the front of the line with a single tab.

Indentations in python need to be consistent, using spaces or tabs but not both.

It hits upon the classic spaces vs. tabs issue:

which has a great reference to the debate in the series Silicon Valley.

nahlgren's recommendation worked

Indeed, there is a small inaccuracy in the dbscan-swa.py script. The correction proposed by nahlgren worked great!
