Your function definitions need to be on the same indentation level. Also, no code is going to run because it consists only of function definitions.

sir can be more specific ...lyk by doing the edit where i need to make....coz i am facing the problem from a long tym....i am kind of new to programmng nd confusing me a lot...

Python relies heavily on leading white space. I would review the those rules. But in essence the problem is this:

This is wrong.

def someFunction():
   do something
 
   def otherFunction():
      do something else
 

This is right.

def someFunction():
   do something
 
def otherFunction():
   do something else

First you need to fix your white space issues per my original response.
