slices.py

my answer to first question slice1 = favorite_things[1 : 4]

i got indentation error? why?

slices.py 
favorite_things = ['raindrops on roses', 'whiskers on kittens', 'bright copper kettles',
                   'warm woolen mittens', 'bright paper packages tied up with string',
                   'cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']

So the Python interpreter is strict about indentations from the start of a line to parse functions, loops, conditions, etc. In your code here, you have a space before your slice1 variable, and Python thinks you're trying to indent that line of code as if it's a part of one of the aforementioned structures.
