Answer 1

    try:
        stream = open(access,'r')
            log_file = stream.readlines()                  
    except IOError:

That line should not be indented in. Indentation is meaningful in Python. Delete four spaces and you'll be good.

    try:
        stream = open(access,'r')
        log_file = stream.readlines()                  
    except IOError:

Answer 2

You have extra indentation in that line

stream = open(access,'r')
---->log_file = stream.readlines()    

It should be like this

stream = open(access,'r')
log_file = stream.readlines()    

Answer 3

Do you really need that extra bit of indentation for that line? Same for the except: block that immediately follows the line under question. Look at line #336 as well.
