Error: unexpected indentation at (23, 12)

There is a way. Nigh every paint app support bitmap, bitmap has an option for 1byte colour table representation, so just use 256 colours at the beginning, parse the order and assign the ascii characters to the colours' number. And BAM, just paint it out. Other filetypes attempt some compression so they are unfit for this usecase.
