In your question, your indentation is wrong in so many places. — sshashank124

In Python, everything must be properly indented as the error is telling you. Everything after the if block should be at the same indentation until the else block at which point the block after the else should be indented equally to the if block — ydaetskcoR

Fix your indentation, you're missing a colon after else and the following print-statement is not indented.

for myarg in myargs:
    if myarg=='heading.png':
        t = find(dirpath + '\\' + myarg)
        t1= capture(t.getX() - 50, t.getY() + 50, t.getW(), t.getH())
        click(t1)

    else:
        print "else inside-----------"

I advice using pylint or a similar syntax checker to avoid problems like this.

You can easily from your error that there is indentation error.
Change your function to

for myarg in myargs:
    if myarg=='heading.png':
        t = find(dirpath + '\\' + myarg)
        t1= capture(t.getX() - 50, t.getY() + 50, t.getW(), t.getH())
        click(t1)
    else:      # here you must use colon
        print "else inside-----------"

Indentation in Python is, simply put, the equivalent of {} in other languages like C++ and C#.

Don't use text editors to write scripts, you can use rich editors for writing scripts.

   for myarg in myargs:
        if myarg=='heading.png':
              t = find(dirpath + '\\' + myarg)
              t1= capture(t.getX() - 50, t.getY() + 50, t.getW(), t.getH())
              click(t1)
       else:
              print "else inside-----------"
