Share New Research 
Hi everyone... I'm new to QC (and Python) as of a couple of months ago. While I've been successful in clearing stumbling blocks myself until now, this problem has me stumped (and suspecting it could be the IDE?).
I have created a new module. When compiling it there are several build errors (pasted below) that aren't very explanatory (to me). They seem to be referring to a variable "self.gbpValArray[6]", however even if I remove the entire contents of the relevant function, I still get a single ambiguous "Python class failed to compile" error.
Any advice is appreciated.

Unfortunately, a reason for this error can not be determined with the information provided. Please share the algorithm to get more assistance.

Well it turned out there were stray tab or space characters after the newline (i.e. '\') character (on line 91 above). I deleted them and it built perfectly.

I am having the same error but can't find such characters. Is there any automatic way to delete them e.g. with sublime?

Hi Kamer... I think I remember once this happening but not being able to find any answer. I created a brand new project and copied everything over, then it compiled correctly again.
