python - How to check a variable for certain strings? -

-

i apologize if i'm not following formatting requirements. first time asking question here , first programming language. topic says, i'd check variable strings. i've tried few options , have researched bit, have still failed find working option.

just give background, i'm trying create word game similar zorg (i think called). i'm doing part of learn python hard way [exercise 35 practice]. anyways, here code. thank time , help!

#first room, allows 3 options     def firstroom():     print "you have begun test."     print "for sake %s, hope pass." % name     print "------------------------------------"     print "you enter new room , see 3 paths."     print "the middle path illuminated eery blue light."     print "the left path illuminated dangerous red light."     print "the right path illuminated soft green glow."     next = raw_input("what path take?" )      if next in ("left", "red"):         print "you cautiously approach left path."         print "before can react, axe swings down , kills you."         exit("thank %s playing, unfortunately died." % name)     elif next in ("middle", "straight", "blue"):         print "a smart choice. head down middle path."         print "as approach end of middle path, see blue light."         blueroom()     elif next in rightpath:         print "you lured green light."     else:         print "command not recognized."         firstroom()

there no declaration of variable rightpath in function. otherwise, code looks if behaves intend to.

my suggestion change:

elif next in rightpath

to 

elif next == rightpath

assuming rightpath holds single string value.

edit

to achieve described in comment, should split user input (which potentially sentence) list of words:

next = raw_input("what path take?" ).split()

each comparison have change incorporate any function: 

if any(item in next item in ("left", "red")):     ... elif any(item in next item in ("middle", "straight", "blue")):     ... else:     ...

any return true word in user input exists in expected list of responses given case.
