What is the problem with this python code indentation error?

Question

I am new to python and was trying to do a web scraping project. I was referring to a code on github - main.py When I run the code I get this error. I tried to check spaces and tabs but I could not fix it. Can someone help me!

File "main.py", line 158 <<<<<<< HEAD ^IndentationError: expected an indented block

 def scrape_status(review):
        try:
            res = author.text.split('-')[0]
        except Exception:
            logger.warning('Failed to scrape employee_status')
            res = np.nan
        return res

    def scrape_rev_title(review):
        return review.find_element_by_class_name('summary').text.strip('"')

    def scrape_years(review):

            first_par = review.find_element_by_class_name(
                'reviewBodyCell').find_element_by_tag_name('p')
            if '(' in first_par.text:
                res = first_par.text[first_par.text.find('(') + 1:-1]
            else:
                res = np.nan
        except Exception:

            more_link.click()

You seem to have checked out a file in the middle of a [merge conflict](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/161813/how-to-resolve-merge-conflicts-in-git). You'll need to get that resolved somehow. — , Jul 24 '19 at 18:21
It appears you are trying to execute code that has merge conflicts — Bryan Oakley, Jul 24 '19 at 18:21
`<<<<<<<< HEAD` is not a Python statement; it's a marker from `git`'s file comparator. — Prune, Jul 24 '19 at 18:23
You might want to check the project your link is forked from instead. — chepner, Jul 24 '19 at 18:27

You have to remove these lines

<<<<<<< HEAD

=======

>>>>>>> 7a5082d8ae61d93721d9ec8deb4ddda3d21cfb47

<<<<<<< HEAD

=======

>>>>>>> 7a5082d8ae61d93721d9ec8deb4ddda3d21cfb47

These are likely due to git merge conflicts and not actual valid Python code.

Removing these lines would still not solve your problem. You have to resolve merge conflicts.
