I'm not sure what the whole indentation thing is for. And now I'm having
trouble with the if statement things.
Maybe your if statement troubles have been solved by others by now, but I'll
just add that "the indentation thing" is a vital feature of Python, it is
the way to separate code blocks. Other languages uses other means, like
curly braces, etc. I get the sense those who like Python enjoy indentation
because it forces the code to be quite readable, and I agree. See this:

Also, as mentioned previously, keep in mind that 2 is not the same as "2"
and "=" is not the same as "==". The single "=" is used to assign names to
objects, whereas the == is for evaluating something, so for if statements
use == and not =. Also note you can put "and" along with if, so you can say
if x == "mom" and y == "dad":
print "my parents"
and lots of other stuff.
