Depends on the environment you're asking it in. If it's command-line, you're probably using the raw_input function in order to get the name. This function simply returns a string that you can use, so you could write something like: username = raw_input("Name: ") password = raw_input("Password: ") if CheckPassword(username, password): print "Hello %s" % username else: print "Incorrect name or password!" Other environments (e.g. wxPython, PyGame or web interfaces) offer different ways of achieving the same results, but I presume you're really new to Python and not yet messing around with those.
