IndentationError in Multiline Comment

[ivarjt]

Bug report

Bug description:

Problem Description

The code has an issue: it's showing an IndentationError in the main() function due to a multiline comment. What's odd is that the error happens even when the comment is indented like another comment that doesn't cause an error.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Copy and paste the provided code into a Python environment.
2. Execute the program.

Observed Behavior

The program encounters an IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level during execution due to an apparent inconsistency in multiline comment indentation.

Expected Behavior

The program should execute without any indentation errors. The multiline comment within the main() function, even if indented, should not result in an IndentationError.

How to Solve

To fix the indentation problem, take a close look at the code. Make sure the indentation is consistent by checking for any extra spaces or tabs that could be causing the "IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level."

Additional notes

I think that this is a weird bug and i don't really see why this couldn't be fixed.

Enviroment

Tested in these environments with these versions.
Python 3.10.12, Python 3.11.2 or Python 3.12.0
Windows 11

        However the comment below will not give an error even tho it is also indented
        """

There is no bug here. This is not a comment, but a docstring. It's part of the code, and requires consistent indentation.
