PyQGIS - problem with launching the print layout

Question

I would like to open the QGIS Print layout by using Python.

I found some hints here:

QgsPrintLayout Setup from PyQGIS 3? PyQGIS - Managing print layouts

and here:

https://data.library.virginia.edu/how-to-create-and-export-print-layouts-in-python-for-qgis-3/

but unfortunately everywhere is the same problem. I am getting an error:

IndentationError: unexpected indent

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3920628/indentationerror-unexpected-indent-error

and I don't really know how to solve it

My simple code looks like this:

project = QgsProject.instance()         
manager = project.layoutManager()       
layout = QgsPrintLayout(project)        
layoutName = "Strand_012"
#initializes default settings for blank print layout canvas
layout.initializeDefaults()
layout.setname(layoutName)
manager.addLayout(layout)
canvas = iface.mapCanvas()
map.setExtent(canvas.extent())
layout.addLayoutItem(map)

I would like to open my map canvas in print layout and export it as PNG setting 170 Dpi resolution for it. How can I do it?

Try to remove the leading spaces in each line.

It looks like I am on the right track, but now I have an error: AttributeError: 'QgsPrintLayout' object has no attribute 'setname' – Geographos Apr 14 '21 at 10:38

it would be setName (capital N). – Miranda Kwon Apr 14 '21 at 10:48
I have nowhere setName in my code – Geographos Apr 14 '21 at 10:54

Replace layout.setname(layoutName) (present in your code) with layout.setName(layoutName) You made a typo hence @MirandaKwon suggestion – ThomasG77 Apr 14 '21 at 10:57
