You might want to try something like this...
def ask():
ans = raw_input("Please enter (g)ood, (o)k or (b)ad: ")
if ans == "g" or ans == "good":
print "Good to hear"
elif ans == "o" or ans == "ok":
print "Good good"
elif ans == "b" or ans == "bad":
print "Oh dear"
else:
print "Incorrect choice"
ask()
And here's how it works...
>>> ask()
Please enter (g)ood, (o)k or (b)ad: b
Oh dear
>>> ask()
Please enter (g)ood, (o)k or (b)ad: o
Good good
>>> ask()
Please enter (g)ood, (o)k or (b)ad: ok
Good good
Or you could also use something a bit more general like this...
def ask(question, list_of_responses):
ans = raw_input(question)
return list_of_responses[int(ans)]
>>> ask("(0)Good (1)OK (2)Bad: ", ["Good to hear", "Good good", "Oh dear"])
(0)Good (1)OK (2)Bad: 0
'Good to hear'
