I think what you meant to write is something like this:

	>>>def test():
	...	s =3D raw_input("please enter your password: ")
	...	if s =3D=3D "password":
	...		print "authenticated"
	...	else:
	...		print "authentication failure"
	>>> test()
	please enter your password: password
	authenticated
	>>> test()
	please enter your password: boo
	authentication failure
	>>>

basically I think you meant to compare "s" and not "raw_input".

kindest regards,

	--ibs.
