Re: IndentationError :Unexpected Indent

Based on the code below it looks like your indentation is off for def was_published recently code block (i.e. 3 spaces instead of 4). If that does not solve the problem, you might also check to ensure that you're not mixing tabs and spaces when indenting. Depending on your environment that can lead to some confusing errors. For example, if you have a tab in one line, and multiple spaces in the next line (of the same code block), in your editor it might appear visually that the indentation is the same, but the interpreter may treat them differently.

Different folks prefer tabs vs. spaces, but the key is to be consistent. google's style guide calls for 4 spaces:

If the method 'was_published_recently' is part of the Poll model, then there should be the same amount of indentations before 'def was_published...' as for the 'def __unicode__' method. Then, for uniformity's sake (even though it is technically not necessary), the 'return self.pub_date...' line should also have the same number of indents FROM the indent where the 'def was_published...' method line starts (in this case 3), like so:
