Answer 1

In such cases it is usually a good idea to run python with the -t flag:

-t : issue warnings about inconsistent tab usage (-tt: issue errors)

This will help to find indentation problems caused by accidentally used tabs.

Answer 2

The row

     self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.lineEdit)

should be on the same level of the other rows.

You might be missing it because your editor mixes tabs and spaces.

If you click on "edit" in your own question, you'll see that this row is not correctly indented.
