I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm learning Python, and
am trying to get the if function to work with letters/words. Basicly,
I'm trying to write a script that when run, says

It kinda works - I can get to the please enter your name bit but then
it simply reprints your input as output. Someone please HELP!

Hi Byte!
Your code should look like this:
x = raw_input('Please enter your name: ')
if x == 'myself': print 'OK'
Because myself should be a string and not a variable name, you have to
put it in quotes.
Regards, Florian.

Florian Nykrin, that works! Thanks!

the idea of stacking input on a raw_input from the official Python
Tutorial.

Use input to enter numbers, and raw_input to enter strings.
For example:

No. raw_input is a function object, using it as a stack is a rather

I'm guessing it goes something like: input is a verb, but raw_input
is a noun, so raw_input looks like a cast or conversion or stream
constructor, and input looks like an action...
