File “C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Local Settings\Temp\TempScript.py”, line 3

SyntaxError: expected an indented block

If you want to post formatted code here do the following:

Type 3 “backticks” (`) plus python in the line before the code
Paste in all the the code
Type 3 more backticks after the code.

This will preserve your code formatting.

To guess at your question - as there is no indentation - after
def displayobjectattributes(object_id):
all the blocks should be indented (usually 4 spaces). So maybe where you copied the code out of lost some of the formatting. Correct indentation is essential for Python to work.
