I realize this isn't yet precisely what you're asking for, but look at the
inspect and ast modules:
import ast, inspect
def indent_level():
lineno = inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_lineno
with open(__file__) as source_file:
tree = ast.parse(source_file.read(), filename=__file__)
for node in ast.walk(tree):
if hasattr(node, 'lineno') and node.lineno == lineno:
return node.col_offset
def example_usage():
print("first indent_level() = {0}".format(indent_level()))
if True:
print("second indent_level() = {0}".format(indent_level()))
if __name__ == '__main__':
example_usage()
The indent_level function above returns the textual column offset rather than
the logical block level you're asking for, e.g.:
first indent_level() = 4
second indent_level() = 8
But hopefully it's a start.

Subject: How to automatically get the indent level from code?
Hi,
I want to get the indent level within the code. For example, I want to
print 1 within the while loop as the line is indented 1 level. Is it
possible to get it within python?
while 1:
#print the level of indent, which is 1 here.
