[Tutor] Simple python help

[Jordan]

Python is telling you, that Stephen, meaning the Variable is not 
defined. Now you can solve this by either defining Stephen, or making a 
temp variable of type string for comparison.
Defining Stephen:
#BEGIN SCRIPT#
Stephen = 'Stephen'  # This is now a variable of type string that equals 
'Stephen'.
person = input("What is your name?:")
if person == Stephen:
     print('Hello ', Stephen)
else:
     print('Hello ', person)

#END SCRIPT#

By the way I assume Python 3 is the version you are using, since that is 
what I use. Let me know if you get any further tracebacks.
I hope that explains what it means to define a variable.
