It's because of Python's always charming significant whitespace.  I.E.
Python uses indenting instead of braces, making problems like this
extremely common.  (No sane language even has "IndentationErrors". Also,
you were missing a paren, but that's not what caused the error above.

A correct version is attached.  Hopefully it will not get mangled by
your client.

import time
import os

not_executed = 1

while(not_executed):
    dt = list(time.localtime(time.time()))
    hour = dt[3]
    minute = dt[4]
    if hour == 5 and minute == 45:
        os.popen2("open /Users/jun/shout.mp3")
        not_executed = 0
