Input wont work with if statement if it has a space

[eli m]

Hi guys, i have a program like this: (A lot of code is not included)
run = 0
while run == 0:
raw_input("Type in a function:")
if function == "Example":
print ("Hello World!")
else:
print ("blah blah blah")

The problem is that whenever i type in example with a space after it then it prints the else statement.

My question is, how do i get it to except input with spaces?

oops i meant function = raw_input("Type in a function:")

whenever function isn't _exactly_ "Example" the else clause executes.

If you want to catch forms of example you might try:

if function.strip().upper() == "EXAMPLE":
