I THINK I HAVE DONE WHATEVER I CAN TO SOLVE THIIS PROBLEM BUT EVEN GOT HELP FROM CHAT GPT AND EVERYTHING BUT I REAKKY DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HELP ME WITH IT
~THANK YOU

Your code so far

text = 'Hello Zaira'
custom_key = 'python'

def vigenere(message, key):
    key_index = 0
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_text = ''

    for char in message.lower():

# User Editable Region

        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_text += char
        else:
            key_char = key[key_index % len(key)]
            offset = alphabet.find(key_char)

            index = alphabet.find(char)

# User Editable Region

            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]

            key_index += 1

    print('plain text:', message)
    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

vigenere(text, custom_key)
