Hi , im trying to "grab" a word or two in a program im trying to write =
in Python, eh im a newbie! to Python and programming.

Something like " input.... What is your favourite hobby?
                        Answer.... I like to play golf.
                        With a reply    print "never played golf, sounds =
boring!!!!"

I tried to put the "key" word in a list but could not get it to work, =
ive tried some other ideas to no avail.
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks
Paul.
