Not if your mail tool doesn't display images. This is a text based list 
so your code is invisible... But on another mail reader....

You have semi colons which are not needed in Python
You have curly braces which are not needed in Python
You have no quotes around your string (stephen) which are needed
You have no colons after the if or else statements, which are needed.

You need to go back to your tutorial and read it more carefully.
And remember that Python is not C/C++/Java/JavaScript/Perl or PHP...

Or try mine, especially the topic on Branching
