self.value = value or random.randint(1, sides) NameError: name 'sides' ?

I do not understand why the compiler is given me a name error with this code

import random

class Die: def init(self, sides = 2, value = 0): if not sides >= 2: raise ValueError("Must have at lest 2 sides")
if not isinstance(sides, int): raise ValueError("Sides most be a whole number") self.value = value or random.randint(1, sides)

The issue might be related to indentation, which can only be seen if you post the code using Markdown formatting.
Providing a link to the course page would also be helpful.
