You probably don't want to remove your function definition.

I believe creating the function is the main point of the challenge. But for the lines below it to be considered as part of the function, they all need to be indented.

In your code above, the try is definitely not indented. The lines below it are but they need to be indented even further when you indent the try. Every line currently below the definition needs to be indented one level more than it currently is.
