Error in Python - Unexpected Indent

# Use the file name mbox-short.txt as the file name
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
count = 0
avg = 0
fh = open(fname)
for line in fh:
    if not line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:") :    
        continue

    count = count + 1
    pos = line.find(":")
    new = float(line[pos+1:])
    avg = avg + new

print "Done",count,avg

I get the following error for this code:

line 11
IndentationError : unexpected indent

Please help me out. This stuff may seem stupid to some but pardon me, I'm a noob. Thanks in advance

Please make sure you are not indenting using Tab and Space at the same time.

If you mixing Tab and Space when indenting, python will be confused. I good practice is to set your text editor's auto indentation to the same indentation you preferred. This way, in case you need to manually change indentation, your indentation will be consistent with those created by your text editor.
